Over the course of 5 years (2011-2016), Japanese photographer Chikara Umihara made a series of trips across the USA by Greyhound Bus, without any specific destination in mind. Chikara created the rule to confine himself to the bus and the stops it makes. Combining views from bus window, portraits of bus passengers, bus stations, and short texts, WHISPERING HOPE illustrates a personal and poignant view on the current state of a nation.
