Emi Ueoka – Intersections

‘I’m attracted to people waiting around, commuting, and hanging out because I like drawing understated poses and a certain atmosphere. In time this interest grew, ever so slightly, to include the surrounding traffic. Intersections is a collection of these drawings.’ – Emi Ueoka
