This is my first collaboration project with a photographer from different country , seems impossible to do that but im glad we've made it , i met Meron around 3 month ago,she's a Hong-Kong based conceptual photographer , i saw her photo in my news feed and im fascinated with it , i send her a message and surprisingly we have the same mindset about photography, for use photography is all about delivering a message i come up with the idea about isolation and feeling insecure , and after the whole discussion we agree to make a project about anti-social,then we called it "hikikomori"
Hikikomori is a Japanese term to refer to the phenomenon of reclusive adolescents or adults who withdraw from social life, often seeking extreme degrees of isolation and confinement
we feel that this term really fit with our concept .
hikikomori is more than just a photo series , its a story , our story
