Finding New Talent on Threads | find new pieces『pattern』 | Focus #767

find new pieces is a discovery project that uncovers outstanding photos from the countless creations posted on Threads and shares their appeal through our magazine. Each edition sets a theme and gathers photos from around the world, helping us discover talent we haven’t encountered before.

Keep an eye out for the photo themes cizucu posts on Threads.
Then simply reply with a photo that fits the theme.

There’s just one requirement: follow cizucu on social media 💙
The cizucu editorial team will contact the selected photographers directly!

This time, we’re featuring seven photos selected from the many entries submitted from around the world.
Let’s see how each photographer brings their own perspective and sensibility to the theme.

Cobblestones underfoot, rows of cars, circular openings across a wall.
All kinds of 『pattern』 are hiding in the world around us.

There’s something satisfying about repeated shapes, but a small break in the order can be just as compelling.
A familiar scene we might normally pass by can reveal an unexpected pattern when viewed from a different angle or framed in a new way.

When light and shadow fall across a human-made structure, or a lone figure crosses an orderly arrangement, a photo can capture more than repeated forms. It can reveal the rhythm running through a place.

What kind of 『pattern』 made you stop and look?
Show us the patterns you’ve found in everyday life.

A lone figure crosses a diagonal sweep of cobblestones. Seen from directly above, paving that would usually go unnoticed beneath our feet becomes a pattern filling the entire frame. The person’s posture and long shadow add a different beat to the regular arrangement of stones. It’s a light, dynamic photo where the order of the city meets a fleeting human moment.

The cars packed tightly into the frame begin to look like one enormous pattern. Black and white minimizes the differences in body color, bringing out the repeated shapes of windows, roofs, and taillights. The slightly staggered rows also create a striking sense of depth. In an ordinary parking lot, the photographer has found a rhythm in the shapes and arrangement of manufactured objects.

This photo looks down at a red-and-gray geometric pattern underfoot. Fine diagonal marks and red lines overlap, creating the illusion of depth across a flat surface. The black shoe at the edge of the frame brings the abstract design back into everyday life. It reminds us that even an unremarkable place can hold plenty of visual surprises when we stop and look.

A row of circular openings beneath a bridge is echoed by spots of light scattered across the road. The circles appear in different forms on the wall and ground, yet seem to answer one another across the frame. In black and white, the pattern of the structure and the pattern made by light become one continuous rhythm. This observant photo captures not only the shapes themselves, but also the light passing through them.

A tower and the surrounding city ripple across a glass facade. Against the evenly spaced lines of the exterior, the reflected buildings bend and waver, giving a new rhythm to an otherwise straight-edged cityscape. The blue-green surface also contrasts beautifully with the warmer tones of the architecture. By layering an orderly grid with irregular reflections, the photographer has rearranged the face of the city.

Roads dividing green fields form a large X at the center of the frame. From above, boundaries made for travel and farming become a bold geometric pattern. Even within the green, each plot has its own shade and direction of lines, adding subtle variation to the orderly composition. It’s a vivid view of the shapes that human activity has traced across the land.

Light entering at an angle falls across rows of wooden chairs stretching into the distance. Their similar shapes repeat, but each surface catches the light or sinks into shadow differently, quietly bringing out every outline. The warm tones against the darkness behind them are equally striking. Through the combination of arrangement and light, the photo finds a rhythm that feels orderly without becoming monotonous.

What did you think?

The photos gathered around the theme 『pattern』 revealed repetition in cobblestones, rows of cars, geometric designs, light and shadow, reflections in glass, divided fields, and neatly arranged chairs. Beyond the beauty of orderly forms, small shifts, ripples, and changes in light give each scene a rhythm of its own. We hope these photos encourage you to notice the patterns and subtle differences hiding in familiar surroundings.

At the heart of this project is the chance to discover new pieces: talent we haven’t encountered yet. We hope it also gives your photography an opportunity to reach more people.

Stay tuned for the next theme.
