Asako Tabata expresses the individual in ordinary life scenes with a clarity and power that is uncommon today. The emotions and thoughts of the person are revealed within their facial and physical expressions with such an unsettling penetration that more than empathy, the viewer feels they have stepped into the life of the subject. Whether it is the scene of a girl in the living room reading a book or a boy walking down the street, the depth of the expression will touch you.
