Gender Identity
Ones who hold different gender identify than the majority still suffers to find places in the society. Using a public bathroom is one example where, one must think twice before deciding which room to go into. Floating in the photograph symbolizes "out-of-place" perspective by others.

About Artist
Tomohiko Funai
I am a self-portrait, non-photoshopped levitation photographer. I was influenced by a contemporary artist, Natsumi Hayashi, and her "Today's Levitation" series in 2011. Under a concept named "Zero Gravity", I create the world of zero gravity and the life of the "levitator", who have been freed from the force of the gravity, through self-portrait photography. I have been awarded by over 70 photography competitions held in and out of Japan, and were featured in various media such as national televisions, radio, YouTube, magazines, and online articles.
