This photograph captures the vibrant energy of Tokyo's Shinjuku district at night. The endless lights, towering buildings, and bustling streets embody the city's nickname as the "City That Never Sleeps." The intricate grid of roads and skyscrapers reflects Tokyo’s relentless pace, even after dark. This image seeks to showcase the dynamic nature of urban life in one of the world’s largest metropolises, where technology, culture, and humanity converge to create a spectacle of light and motion.

Aliace (Uesan) is a Tokyo-based photographer whose work spans multiple genres, including fine art, architecture, astrophotography, macro, and motion. With a foundation in observing the night sky through telescopes, his transition to photography was driven by a desire to preserve ephemeral beauty through images. His approach emphasizes unconventional technical experimentation and non-standard perspectives, often seeking expressions that are visually striking yet conceptually resonant.
