Photographer Marwan Magroun immersed himself in Tokyo for 48 hours in the spring of 2018 to experience and experience the dynamics of the metropolis up close. Nothing was staged during photography, so the unpolished images radiate authenticity. Through balanced compositions, balanced light, enchanting colors and careful cuts, images have been created that reflect Marwan's vision of the city.
