Chen

Hi, I’m Chen. I came from China to Kyoto, Japan, where I’m currently a first-year Master’s student in
Photography and Video. I am drawn to observing everyday life and the cities we inhabit. This series
was photographed on my phone over the past two years, capturing lost items I encountered on the
streets of Japan.


  • Untethered

  • In the shifting streets,
  • things slip free from ties.
  • Awkward, tender, resilient—
  • they stand quietly on their own.
