Find Patterns
Taking photos of things that catch your eye while walking around the city is a natural act. Although we usually don't notice, there are many beautiful patterns in our daily lives.
This is the second installment of the Find series. The first installment was a contest to discover typography in the city.
The mission of this Find series is to discover patterns in the city.
For example, cracks in asphalt, mesh fences, peeling walls, and other things that are usually overlooked can be seen as patterns, revealing a new side of the city.
Take this opportunity to observe the city from a new perspective and discover its patterns. We look forward to many submissions!

Patterns seen in architecture sometimes evoke a longing for nature. The patterns on the building in this photo can be seen as resembling the stomata of leaves breathing.

Alternatively, you can find patterns created by nature itself in the city. The waves in a puddle interfere with each other, creating unique patterns.

You can also find more artificial patterns in the city. Metal arrows embedded in the ground. Perhaps very few people know what these arrows signify.

With a broader perspective, you can notice beautiful patterns created by the interaction between humans and nature. The patterns created by a ship slicing through the sea travel to distant lands.
Finally
How was it? By observing the patterns hidden in the city, you might discover a different side of the city. Take this contest as an opportunity to find the patterns in the city. We look forward to many submissions!
