Transfer

I transferred to Tokyo for one year. In the city, we are often in transit. We move from one place to another, traveling established pathways over many lines. This photo set is my lens view while passing through these transitory urban spaces. I catch brief alignments and junctions, finding glimpses of bodies in motion.

Overpass

Yamanote line, evening

Passages

Gates

Shuffling

Transit (Sunrise, Moon, Venus, & Jupiter)

Ebisu

Crossing

Waiting for the Emperor

In the final frame, the motion ceases, and we pause and wait.
