"Yumiko Naito, from Hokkaido in northern Japan, likes to photograph mysterious and desolate landscapes. Her recent series, LANDs END, captures the power of such places in Ireland and England. In her photographs, everything on earth - humans, plants, animals, sky, ocean, rocks, clouds - seems to have a soul and all relate to each other in beautiful harmony. In her eyes, these dark places hold bright hopes and nameless anticipation. Almost paradoxically, they invite us with the heartwarming encouragement of home." (Kaori Kamisawa).
