菊地健太氏による写真集"They dance alone"

自分のやるべきことを決め、自分の人生を切り開く。時には逆境や大きな壁に抗い、ただひたすらに、がむしゃらに、自分の道を力強く歩み続ける。気づけば誰ひとりとして似つかない生き様をつくる。その様は等しく、美しいと思う。

混沌としたこの世界で生きることは、時に苦しい。それでも自分の道から目線をそらさずに生きる姿に出会った。ひたむきに生きることの過酷さ、美しさに向き合い、写真に刻み込んだ。
僕は人と出会うことで、幾度となく救われてきました。人と出会い、新たな発見をすることで未来が訪れ、人生は続いていくと思っています。そんな小さなきっかけを、この写真集で得てもらえたら幸いです。

They dance alone," a collection of photographs by Kenta Kikuchi

They decide what they should do and carve out their own lives. Sometimes they defy adversity and big obstacles, and sometimes they just keep on going their own way, single-mindedly, desperately, and powerfully. They create a way of life that is unlike anyone else's. I think this way of life is equally beautiful.

Living in this chaotic world is sometimes painful. Even so, I met people who live their lives without looking away from their own path. I faced the harshness and beauty of living earnestly, and I engraved them in my photographs.
I have been saved many times by meeting people. I believe that meeting people and making new discoveries will lead to the future, and life will continue. I hope that this photo collection will provide you with such a small opportunity.
