In the series Maki a. D., Alex Katsuragawa explores “Fields at Night” not as a concrete place, but as a symbolic projection space for psychological processes. Rooted in a personal experience of loss, the motif refers to an inner sanctuary—a familiar landscape that has profoundly shaped the artist’s identity. Even in its absence, this space persists as an invisible yet palpable emotional foundation. The works examine the tension between security and the subtle threat of loss. Rather than recalling memory alone, Katsuragawa’s images address an existential condition: the longing to return to what once was, and the realization that this return remains unattainable.
