Unfolding across lavishly illustrated chapters, Morning Again is a visual narrative on the forces that shape New York City today. In the work, Japanese–born, New York–based artist Tomokazu Matsuyama traces four symbolic currents that move through the city: flows of hope, rhythm, self-expression, and transformation. Times Square, the city’s central pulse, becomes the stage.

Across the vast electronic canvas, histories overlap, diverse identities coexist without hierarchy, and the city’s inner rhythms are rendered in light and motion. Through the piece, viewers are invited to pause and feel the currents as they unfold: light rising into hope, vibrations carrying the city’s pulse, bursts of color and movement affirming presence and joy, and shifting silhouettes hinting at fluid identities. These currents converge, dissolve, and reassemble, forming a portrait of the shared energies that sustain and shape New York and the country. In a time of uncertainty and division, it celebrates diversity and independence, with unity emerging as a guiding force toward the future.
