When I wake up in the morning and open my eyes, everything I see is blurry. One morning I wondered what it would be like to go on for a day without my glasses, but I struggled to even get dressed, make breakfast, and to go out to the shop.

Myopia (nearsightedness) is a type of vision condition. When the eye is in a relaxed state, parallel light enters the eye and is focused in front of the retina, resulting in the inability to form a clear image on the retina. The optometry test can determine the degree of myopia, so, for example, 50 degrees of myopia and is recorded as "-0.50D". This point becomes the threshold between myopia and non-myopia, but people with normal vision cannot detect this. Therefore, I would like to use my project to allow people with normal vision to experience what the world of myopia is like.

This project was inspired by the work of Philip Barlow. His work allows people with myopia to see the content of his pictures without glasses, but people with normal vision cannot observe the changes in the pictures. The idea behind my project is to use my own myopic condition to produce a series of photographs to show the world as seen by myopic people, where I capture buildings, objects, landscapes, etc., at different distances. These photos are also inspired by Hiroshi Sugimoto's work "ARCHITECTURE."

The images were taken in Greenwich, reflecting my personal myopia, which causes blurred vision at a distance and clarity at close range. This series of photographs is made from a myopic perspective, slowly making the photos of buildings and landscapes clearer from far to near.
