As privacy concerns intensify, especially in Japan, street photography is shifting. Faces are hidden, identities obscured, and presence is carefully anonymized. Using intentional camera movement (ICM), this image reflects a future where no one is recognizable, and visual poetry replaces candid truth. It is an elegant solution, perhaps. But if this becomes the norm, we must ask what part of human presence we are choosing to erase.
