'Zoom in and out' is a global photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to all creators. The contest aims to curate outstanding works from submissions, fostering new talent and supporting the community as a platform.
There are two ways to enjoy architecture. One is to focus on the details, and the other is to take a broader view, considering history and local characteristics. This contest, 'Zoom in and out', themed around capturing architecture from both detailed and panoramic perspectives, showcases submitted and award-winning works.

This work captures historical Japanese architecture, reminiscent of a former castle town. With the changing times, new eateries and souvenir shops coexist with long-established stores, reflecting the background of these changes to the viewer.

As Kengo Kuma expresses, "Architecture should be smaller, softer, and closer to people," this work suggests the constant presence of people near architecture. Even with an escalator, which feels mundane, new stories unfold every minute and second.

This work perfectly matches its title, "Inorganic and Light." Although the architecture may seem cold and mechanical, the light streaming from behind gives it a gentle expression, as if softly embracing the people nearby.
