Project Return World (PRW) is a cross-border collaboration with our friends from all over the world.

Some we've met, some we've never met. But in either case, we've had the blessing to share this expression with some of the loveliest people of various ethnicities and cultural backgrounds - all thanks to this relatively new world connected with the internet and high-speed air transport.

And the Tokyo shots are done! And thank you so much to Nynno Bel-Air & Karin Okoso for the great work they've done. You can get to know their work and great contributions to the creative world via @nynnobelair and @in_karin. And we do sincerely hope you get to know them.

Tokyo has been pretty bitingly cold, but our spirits are warm thanks to all of you people who are not constricted in their views by societal norms, pressures and disruptive labels - choosing humanism over nationalism, or any kind of sectorial constructs. It always sounds a little haughty to put these beliefs in words, but with all the sadness and hate that permeates our societies by actions that do not stem from humanism, we can only verbalise, visualise, and amplify what we believe.

If certain actions can create more connections based on empathy and love, that is the path we will always be on.

Peace from Tokyo,

Ryo

We're spreading the word for cultural tolerance and understanding. With many terrible news around the world with shootings, massacres, bombings, beatings, territorial disputes, hate speech and so on (which are only segments of the pain caused around the world reported to us through the media), we can only keep uncovering the world with more connections, bro hugs and kanpai's of mutual respect.

僕たちはプロジェクトリターンワールド (PRW) を通じ、国境を越えたコラボレーションを仲間たちと展開しています。

直接会ったことのある方もいれば、もちろん会ったことのない方もいます。どちらにしても、様々な文化や人種の方々と一つのエクスプレッションの元、今集まり、表現を共にしています。それはインターネット、そして空上をとてつもないスピードで駆け抜けることができる現時代のお陰だと言えるかもしれません。

そして遂に東京での撮影が終わりました!写真家の Nynno Bel-Air さん、そしてモデルの Karin Okoso さんには素晴らしい作品を創っていただき、本当に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。彼女たちのクリエイターとしての作品は @nynnobelair、@in_karin から見れますので、是非皆さんも彼女等カッコイイ女性たちの生き様を check out してください。

東京では最近、急激な寒さに見舞われコートの襟を立てる毎日です。しかし、社会の常識、プレッシャー、そして破壊的なレッテルに惑わされず、ナショナリズムや区画化された考えよりもヒューマニズムを尊重する皆さんのお陰で、僕たちの心はとても暖かく保っていられます。こういう考え方を言葉にすると、どうも傲慢に聞こえますが、世界中の現社会で広がる悲しみや憎しみが、ヒューマニズムに乗っ取らない行動から生まれているのであれば、僕たちはただ信じていることを語言化し、視覚化し、増幅させること以外、行動する余地はないと考えます。

逆に、特定的な行動が共感と愛を生み出せるのならば、僕たちはただその道を辿ることを目指します。

Peace from Tokyo,

石井 亮平
