A body of work showcasing the versatility of this genre fluid artist, ‘SUNSPOTS’ sees Fuji shine as one to watch as we enter the final months of 2022. Speaking on the project, he states: Sunspots is a summer journey/love letter to myself and the people around me. It's about finding the balance between the sun and the shade in my life.
