Ho voluto esplorare anche il mondo della danza, e ho incontrato sulla mia strada il ballerino amputato Koichi Omae, originario di Osaka. A 23 anni, quando si stava affacciando alla carriera professionale, un incidente d'auto gli ha portato via tutti i sogni. Ha subìto l'amputazione della gamba sinistra sotto il ginocchio. Con grande forza di volontà ha deciso di proseguire la carriera di ballerino, consapevole che senza l'arto avrebbe dovuto spendere molte più energie non solo nel compiere il gesto artistico, ma anche solo per camminare normalmente. A Tokyo, città non sempre a misura di persone con disabilità, è riuscito ad affermarsi come ballerino fino a ad essere invitato a danzare alla Cerimonia di Chiusura dei Giochi Paralimpici di Rio de Janeiro nel 2016. Ha superato completamente il concetto di disabilità: “se non provi dolore fisico, sofferenza mentale o difficoltà pratiche, non sei disabile” mi ha detto “e dunque io non lo sono”.

I really like the photo, but perhaps in this case the amputation seems to me an accessory element, I would say unnecessary, (and that I would not have valued in any case).
The feeling of imprisonment and suffocation that the photo transmits to me does not feel it as in close emotional correlation with disability.
Of course it could very well be up to me.

Even seeing the only small image I thought it was yours: strong, impactful, true, the amputation - the incomplete figure - is a modern royal homage to the monk statues of antiquity. Great.
