“Our Favorite Photobooks of 2021”

Elin Spring and Suzanne Révy produce What Will Your Remember, an online photography review magazine based in the greater Boston area. About Balancing Cultures they wrote:

Amidst the burgeoning expressions of anti-Asian sentiment in the United States, Takigawa’s eloquent and poignant collaged photographs give voice to the enduring effects of WWII internment camps on the artist’s own family. His intimate yet enigmatic imagery summons empathy for all who are victimized by racism, functioning at once as an elegy and a cautionary tale.
