Lycoris radiata, Hymenocallis latifolia also known as red and white spider lilies and I shared a wonderful moment of pure bliss, the truest form of freedom. Admiring these flowers and taking selfies with them brought me joy, peace, and a promise of a bright future ahead.

I always wondered if Ghibli studio exaggerated when drawing the landscapes of Japan. Turns out it’s as vibrant and peaceful, if not more. I swear the air here turns up the saturation and the green is greening like nowhere else. 

So my grocery shopping experience is something like this :)
Is there anyone else living the rural Japan life? What’s your experience has been like so far?

It’s a good day for fishing.  Captured along Prefectural Route 76, Awajishima.

I was doing some test shots that turned into a self portrait session. I kept postponing capturing this time in my life, but I say it’s important to take photos of yourself at every stage.
Here I am at 28, midway through an interesting and challenging chapter, feeling a lot.

When I look back at younger versions of myself through past self portraits, I realize that many of the things that once felt overwhelming and terrifying don’t mean much to me now. But I do remember the good moments.

So I hope that when I look back at these portraits a year from now, I’ll smile with relief, remembering the best parts of this chapter, all the worries already long gone into oblivion.

Сегодня я тестила пару кадров, и все это переросло в личную фотосессию. Я все хотела, но откладывала запечатлеть этот период своей жизни, я ведь всегда говорю о важности таких портретов на каждом этапе жизни.  Тут мне 28, уже прошло больше полугода от этой интересной и непростой главы, и я переполнена чувствами. 

Когда я оглядываюсь назад и прохожусь по прошлым автопортретам, я понимаю, что много из того, что казалось всепоглощающим и пугающим, теперь не имеет особого значения. Но я всегда четко помню хорошие моменты. 

Поэтому, надеюсь, через год, глядя на эти фотографии, я буду улыбаться с облегчением. Вспоминая лучшее из этой главы моей жизни, все тревоги уже в прошлом, забыты.

Continuing our Meet Gen 6 series, we’re excited to introduce a fellow who sees the world through a creative lens!

Meet Akmaral—a passionate photographer and visual storyteller from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and blends her diverse background in design and photography to craft compelling narratives.

Akmaral believes that both art and shared experiences (like cooking) have the power to connect people across cultures. Her vision is to build a global creative community that bridges perspectives between Japan and Central Asia.

At AYF, she’s eager to explore how digital storytelling and social media can amplify voices, foster cross-cultural dialogue, and promote global understanding. Stay tuned to see how Akmaral uses creativity to connect communities and inspire meaningful exchange across borders! 🇰🇬
