This is an editorial project which challenges our perceptions of nature in the era of biodiversity crisis by presenting a series of images, texts and drawings. The project is based on the belief that we should restore biodiversity which is at stake locally and globally. It includes the topics of biodiversity restoration, mass extinction, rewilding, shifting baseline syndrome and humans desire to control nature—along with my personal story of gaining an understanding of what kind of natural environment we should have in order to restore biodiversity.

I am a visual communication designer from Japan. I have worked at several design studios in Tokyo, Japan. Since I started MA in Royal Danish Academy, I became independent and working on multiple projects as a freelance designer. Most of my commission works are from Japan, relating to climate change mitigation, biodiversity restoration and civil right movements.
