The series title "i" is the sound /ai/, which is "I" in English and "love" in Japanese. In a glimpse of these photographs, you are left feeling a sense of peace and serenity, a feeling of the good fortune of living in this world. It is Akiko Kimura's first book with an international distribution.

"Every time I look at my artworks, I'm provided with new ways of seeing them. It's as if they are a mirror allowing me to encounter myself afresh each time. I like to think this allows my work to be re-born again and again whenever my photographs are experienced. With my work, I am happy when I feel there is nothing, but at the same time everything." — Akiko Kimura
