SAARABA

In Wolof, Saaraba means Paradise. In Japanese, it means Farewell. Saaraba tells of a quest, of a young girl from elsewhere. I am looking for my corner of Paradise on earth. In the streets of Nara I put down my camera, I question nature, deer, and some people. So, I meet Siga, a Senegalese woman who has been living in Osaka for eight years. She is my interpreter. Together, we go in search of happiness.
