Hajime Sawatari's practice has long navigated the intersection of reality and fiction, capturing a delicate boundary through a female sitter. Here he follows a woman alone at home in the afternoon: her gestures and expressions, caught in a natural and unadorned state, are both fictional and yet offer a glimpse of the real. While the scenes are drawn from his imagination, they resonate with authentic moments that aim to hold the ephemeral essence of a reality existing beyond the invented one. Working the peculiar quality of the medium, he invites the viewer into the interplay between the invented and the observed.
