Fumitake Uchida’s nightscape of Tokyo’s skyscrapers appears realistic at first glance, yet the starkly white, empty sky introduces a deliberate sense of artifice?a subtle break from reality.
The sharp contrast between white and black, paired with the delicate colors spilling from the windows, gives the work a dramatic, cinematic presence.

The window lights are meticulously added by hand on top of the silhouetted buildings. Their colors and placements are intentionally varied from piece to piece, allowing each work to capture a slightly different moment in the city’s nocturnal rhythm. Through these subtle shifts, the viewer can sense the passing of time?its quiet flow reflected in the ever-changing glow of Tokyo’s night.
