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.
