The internationally acclaimed series, Tokyo is Yours, will be shown in Meg Hewitt's first Sydney solo exhibition. Not simply an exhibition of photographic images, the installation also fleshes out narrative threads and layers running through the project in relation to the Great East Earthquake of 2011: love, loss, desire, and a tenuous relationship with nature.

Inspired by Manga and film noir, the work has been described as "dangerous" by Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama. It was also listed as one of the top 5 shows in Arles by Hannah Watson, director of TJ Boulting Gallery (London) and Trolley Books. Hewitt was named winner of the Designscope award for best fringe exhibition at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale in 2017.
