Indigo Static (2025– ) is a sequence of thirty-two photographs taken in three cities: New York, London, and Tokyo.

The work treats the city not as narrative but as condition, formed by repetition, alignment, and regulation.

Across the three cities, structure operates through structurally distinct mechanisms: externalized in New York, stratified in London, internalized in Tokyo.

Architectural and institutional structures remain persistent, while urban systems gradually regulate and reduce human presence.

An indigo-toned palette suppresses warmth and immediacy, shifting perception toward the structural logic beneath each city's surface.

Structure remains.
Presence recedes.
