1. The person next to you
2. *The photo is for illustrative purposes only.
3. What is there to see?

It consists of three sections:

I wanted to take a peek into the "invisible, hard-to-see world" which is the polar opposite of my work as a photographer who uses his eyes. The "ALT" project was born out of this curiosity.

(Omitted)

What meets the eye is not everything.
To feel is to see.
What does it mean to see?

"I'm glad that people are interested in visually impaired people," "I want to see our world expressed in an interesting way," their words were the driving force behind this project, which allowed us to complete it. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who cooperated with us in this project.
