Shinigami eyes watch us every day

When is it your turn?

Are you satisfied with your human experience?

No one will escape the Shinigami eyes

Are you ready to die?

Inspired by death from working in medical, and one of my favorite anime, "Death Note". Shinigami are death gods in Japanese culture. They welcome people into the afterlife. A lot of my work has a Japanese aesthetic influence because I lived there for a decent amount of time when I was growing up. I love Japan.

I often see death knocking on people’s door at work. I see a lot of disease, accidents, and unfortunate events happen to people. I can’t help but think of death weekly. I’m getting mentally burnt out working in medical. It takes a toll on your soul seeing so many unsettling events.

I’ve been well acquainted with the subject matter of “death”, and I don’t necessarily fear it as much due to constant exposure. Of course, I’m not saying I want to die, I love living, and I’m thankful to be here every day.

This photograph is one of my visions of death in physical form.

Chromesthesia colors inspired by Grimes, ”Violence”.

Chromesthesia or sound-to-color synesthesia is a type of synesthesia in which sound involuntarily evokes an experience of color, shape, and movement. I see colors when I hear certain music, or sounds. I use this ability in my photography by altering certain colors to match what I see from listening to music.
