My Tokyo - Douglas Diaz

Intended to celebrate Tokyo through the talented eyes of close friends, Douglas Diaz is the second artist in our ‘My Tokyo’ exhibition series. This diptych, taken at the same intersections just moments apart reveal the stratification of urban living that all too easily entrapped us. The clouds beyond beckon a dream like freedom to roam aimlessly.

Douglas is an artist and occasional photographer, currently living in the mountainside of Nara Prefecture. His work is poised between the personal and the universal, the literal and the subliminal, in hopes of awakening the human condition within all of us. See more work by Douglas below, on his two Instagram accounts, @d2.art and @d2.photo, or his Website.

Curtis is a Creative Director and Photographer that has been living in Tokyo for 13 years and has been documenting a very personal portrait of life in our home city. See more work by Curtis below and on his Instagram and Website.
