Description

In his early school days, Karol Tomoki Yamazaki was trying to show his classmates the importance of seeing things from multiple perspectives. Over time, his awareness of just how relative everything is influenced art projects and graphic design work he creates as an adult. Karol Tomoki attributes this sensitivity to his Japanese-Polish background, which instilled in him an appreciation for considering diverse points of view.
