A collection of works by Japanese female photographer Risa Uzuki, ``The Beast Within''. This first book is a paranormal-like book that interweaves self-portraits and mental landscapes with images that have been pursued by Japanese painter Kurumi Narasaki for nearly four years. A variety of contradictory elements coexist, such as a unique aesthetic sense, a delicate emotional state, light and dark, movement and stillness, beauty and ugliness, old and young, and the atmosphere that sometimes flickers with each other is thrilling. ``The act of expression is essential to life, and I don't want to express darkness, but the light that can only reach that place, a prayer to never give up on looking beyond that, and a curse against the world.'' writes the author. This is a wonderful collection of works that makes you realize the importance of imagining something, believing in yourself, and continuing to pursue an unseen future, precisely because we live in an era where it is easy to find answers to anything right away. Photographer John Cypal also praised the book, calling it one of his favorite books of 2023. First edition of 200 copies. Signed by the photographer .
