Circular Symmetry Above Tokyo Streets | Limited Edition of 10
Overlapping Steel Rings Beneath Modern Glass Roof Structure
Standing beneath this structure in Tokyo, I remember the immediate sense of disorientation that came from looking up. What should have been simple support beams and architectural framing instead formed an intricate network of interlocking rings, layered arcs, and repeating lines that seemed to fold into one another as they stretched overhead. The geometry isn’t accidental—it’s engineered precision—but the effect is almost organic.
From this perspective, the structure becomes less about engineering and more about pattern. Glass panels intersect with steel framing to create concentric circles that appear to float against the pale sky beyond. Vertical support elements radiate outward from curved junctions, creating rhythm and symmetry that feels deliberate but never rigid. Every connection point becomes a visual anchor, drawing the eye deeper into the composition before redirecting it along another curve or structural seam.
Photographed on location while walking through Tokyo's modern commercial districts, this was one of those moments when the built environment quietly reveals something more than its intended function. What exists primarily as protection from the elements becomes a layered study in repetition, tension, and form when viewed from directly below.
Rendered in black and white, the emphasis shifts away from material finishes and into structure itself—light passing through glass, shadows settling into recessed joints, and the tonal variation between polished surfaces and matte architectural panels. The absence of color allows the geometry to take precedence, giving equal visual weight to each intersecting arc and support line.
Each print is personally signed and includes a certificate of authenticity. Produced using archival pigment inks on Epson Premium Luster paper, the fine tonal gradation and structural detail of the original scene are carefully preserved.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
