Rinko Kawauchi is a Japanese, Tokyo-based photographer whose work is characterized by soft focus vignettes describing the poetry of the everyday. In an interview, Kawauchi says that she prefers “listening to the small voices in our world, those which whisper,” it is that very thoughtful perspective that provokes meditation and invites her viewers to be sensitive to their surroundings so that they too can transform delicate, vibrant details of daily life into ephemeral treasures.
