A Sense of Accomplishment
Hirakawa’s works often explore the disparities of invisible social hierarchies and uncover social taboos hidden in the Japanese social system. In A Sense of Accomplishment, he focuses on issues of bonding between daughters and their parents in present-day Japanese society. The work attempts to prove the existence of a reality where families can transcend superficial values and remains connected even on a subconscious level.
