Reiko's series of work, entitled "Dreamscapes" has been exhibited in more than 9 countries between 2005 and 2007. Her first monograph catalogue, also entitled "Dreamscapes", has been published for the travelling shows in Poland in 2007. Reiko's works and interviews have been published in numerous magazines and newspapers internationally, and she has won several grants and awards including the Best Portfolio Award at the "International Portfolio Review" in Bratislava, Slovakia in 2004.

She has a unique eye and her works look mysterious and surreal, yet the subject matter that she captures are from her everyday life. Inspired by her own inner reality, subconscious world, dreams, story tales, music, poetry, and every single ordinary thing she sees that give her many perspectives. Her photographs reveal questions about seeing "realities" rather than answers.
