Cude Thomas
Country
Japan
Description
Photographed from inside a boat in Kyoto, this image explores layered observation: the boat’s frame, still water, the bridge, the workers, and distant figures all existing within the same quiet rhythm. I was interested in how an ordinary public space can briefly become theatrical when viewed from the right distance.
