Key Themes in Her Work:

Miho Kajioka’s artistic practice is characterized by a fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics and contemporary photographic techniques. Her work often delves into:

• The exploration of impermanence and transience, influenced by the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi
  
  
• The interplay between presence and absence, utilizing empty spaces to evoke memory and emotion
  
  
• The transformation of everyday moments into poetic visual narratives
  
  
• The use of delicate, analogue printing methods to create tactile, intimate images
  
  

Kajioka’s compositions frequently feature minimalist imagery, such as birds, branches, and subtle landscapes, rendered in soft tones and textures that invite contemplation and introspection.
