Stronger Than Pride
Shuhei Kato's series Stronger Than Pride explores a different side of himself, beyond the pride, passion, and determination he has always expressed. In this series, Kato focuses on uncovering the version of himself seen through the eyes of others, whether they are reflecting on him or the things he holds dear. As SADE equated pride with love, what will Kato discover about himself through this lens?
