Manhole Covers of Japan: Couples Kimono

This series stems from the unique, decorative manhole cover designs each district within Japan boasts. After photographing the cover, I turn it into a black silhouette using Photoshop. I place colorful images behind the silhouette. They speak of a hidden world of beauty: when so much care and design is taken for something we walk over, perpetually gets dirty, it must be elevated, like a stained-glass window.
