This work depicts an Asagao or morning glory. As suggested by their name, these flowers blossom during the day and seal their petals at sundown. Masushio deliberately photographs them in the darkness, conjuring a sense of active mystery that galvanizes the viewer to imagine the hidden interior life of these flowers. Asagao may serve as a metaphor for the multiple lives lived by single beings, often hidden within plain sight.
