Kurumi Ono (b. 1995, Tochigi, Japan) explores impermanence, transformation, and preservation through photography and installation. By burying photographic prints in soil and allowing natural processes to alter the image, her work visualizes the tension between memory and decay, revealing time as both a destructive and generative force.
