Before the Colors Set, After They Faded

To be honest, my first image of Hakodate was all white.Snow, houses, cars—even the silence felt white.

But this time, it was summer. No snow. Just faded playground paint, soft light, and quiet corners I hadn’t imagined.

I brought both color and black & white film. One to find saturation, the other to record what might be disappearing.This trip became a quiet search—for the other sides of Hakodate.

我對函館的第一印象，說實話，是白色的。雪的白、房子的白、車子的白，甚至連安靜都是白的。但這次是夏天。

那些白色的東西沒出現，取而代之的是色塊、牆面上的剝落油漆、遊具的鐵鏽、還有忽然變得柔軟的光線。

我用彩色底片拍下那些飽和的細節，也用黑白底片去紀錄那些看起來不會被注意到的安靜。這趟旅行像是在尋找：函館還能有什麼別的樣子？
