Schoolgirl Complex packages, as faint longing, the fantasies and fetishism born from gazing at the schoolgirl as a symbolic figure. A see-through shirt, socks, legs extending from a checked skirt, the back of a knee, a mole, a scab: even in uniform, the traces of each girl's individuality clearly exist, and toward them the photographer once held strong fantasy and desire, alongside a strong fear of women born of inexperience. By expressing such complex feelings in a thoroughly refined, symbolic form, he seeks to render the fragility and precariousness of adolescence from many sides.
