Statement
Original Dolls by Tomoka Ike
I was born and raised in a small town in Southern Japan.
There were no strangers there, everyone knew each other.
It was good, but a little boring to me. Whenever I met a
stranger it excited me because the stranger meant that
there was an opportunity for new knowledge about a
different world.
In the city, we come across strangers all the time. It's
a chance for something new and exciting. I love to watch
the people on the street.
The city inspires me.
