Maya Akashika writes that creating an image is what connects every one of her works: she feels the limitation that confines the outline of her images and lets them grow and dance as they want, like an experiment that never ends, in which she is simply one of the audience of her own show. Daido Moriyama sees images like these projected on the retina in moments when casual scenes of the day wobble and warp for an instant, an extremely eccentric and still world with roused desire encapsulated within, visions of a dangerous game. Kotaro Iizawa finds in her name, red deer, and in the image of a deer standing motionless in blood-red sunset light, a shamanistic nature: the extreme intensity of the performance unfolding in her photographs appears to him like a ritual offered to a transcendental existence, in which photographer and models alike are enveloped in a dream-like, entranced consciousness. The book was published with the support of the Visual Arts Photo Award.
