One Step for Him, All the Way for Her.
Atop a windswept peak, Mika Hayashi honors the memory that drives her journey. This gallery captures the intimate, emotional ritual of planting a personal token for her late brother—a quiet act of farewell, gratitude, and love. Framed by endless skies and jagged cliffs, Mika’s strength and vulnerability are etched into every image. A summit reached not just by footsteps, but by heart. These scenes reflect healing, remembrance, and the power of presence in the wild.
