Conflict Hong Kong is a decade-long project by photographer Kasper Forest capturing the city?s dramatic transformations with a focus on marginalised groups.

?Over ten years, Kasper has engaged deeply with issues of identity, photographing people from grassroots backgrounds, the homeless, ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ groups, and cultural minorities,? according to a press release.

Through his work, Forest aims to make marginalised communities visible and celebrate our differences as a ?precious form of existence.?

His exhibition, ?Human Conflicts – A Decade of Recording the Invisible,? will be displayed in Tokyo?s Victoria 1842 Cafe & Bookstore from February 13 to March 1.
