Yurina Okada was born in 1995 in Hyogo Prefecture. She graduated from Kyoto University of Art and Design with a master's degree. She currently lives and works in Kyoto. By limiting the amount of information in her photographs, she is able to focus on areas that are difficult to see. She also attempts a new approach to photography by cracking the surface.
