A gelatin silver print from Rong Rong’s Tsumari Story series that quietly frames a single human figure in a moment of reverent stillness, using light and space to examine memory and presence.
What hits you first is the soft, backlit interior—windows glowing like screens, a bold vertical post bisecting the view, and a kneeling figure in profile whose calm silhouette turns the room into a contemplative stage.
Combining the austerity of traditional Japanese interiors with contemporary black-and-white photography, this work extends photography’s power to render ritual, atmosphere, and the sculptural qualities of ordinary spaces.
