Ibaraki City, Osaka.

I cycled around by myself for a while until it got dark. 

It’s liberating to be in a foreign place, where you can’t communicate with people, and writing turns into incomprehensible squiggles and speech becomes just a series of sounds. Essentially, I was forced to be alone and I felt like I’ve only met myself for the first time.
