mokuji.1634

[mokuji jūroku sanjūyon]

The word [mokuji] is a reference to Japanese characters [黙字] which mean silent letter.

Project Mokuji.1634 has been created by Anya Rise, film photographer and artist skilled in pencil, pastel, and charcoal drawing.

Her photographs are characterized by the fleeting nature of disappearing "expiring" moments in life, which the tormented consciousness tries to capture amidst the noise of existence.

While the creatures depicted in drawings break through into this world, desperately longing to absorb the colors of life, to one day cease to exist on the plane of the paper, becoming something real, able to gaze into eyes and touch a hand.
