Title: The Tokyo Toilet Project

About the Photos:

In The Tokyo Toilet Project, each of the public structures are works of art that demonstrate that public design can go beyond functionality to represent cultural and artistic value. My vision for this project is to portray the subjects as beacons in a busy urban environment. Working in black and white allowed me to use light and shadow to isolate and unveil each of the subjects and to give the work its minimal essence. The busy urban landscape remains ghost-like in the background. In my photography I use minimal compositions and try to dissolve distractions and communicate an awareness and a connection with the subject.
