Seeing Ryukyu: Collective Unconscious is a series of gelatin silver print photograms taken on a 35mm black-and-white camera this past summer. I was able to retrace a path I took as a child with my family, all the way to 29 Palms, California, where I lived (1997-’99). I connect this long stretch of highway and desert with my father’s identity as a Marine and moments of my childhood. In the militarized land used for training and bases, I see trauma across the land, just like Okinawa. Twenty percent of Okinawa, Japan, is currently occupied by the largest Foreign U.S. Military Base.
