On a certain day in February 2021, the air of Sandankyo Gorge in midwinter was uncannily clear. A single frame, sealing in long exposure the sight of "Sister Falls" — whose number of parallel cascades shifts with the volume of water. Deep in the Chugoku Mountains, a heavy snow region where winter entry is forbidden. In the mountain depths, its trails barricaded, I — a nobody — arrived searching for something, slipping and falling again and again. In this place that repels all human presence, it thunders on indifferently, with no one to hear, no one to speak of it. Until the mountain opens again, in this place far from human settlement, the wave never collapses into a particle. With blood-smeared hands, I peer relentlessly into the abyss of time.
