Symphony features over a decade of plant photography taken by Nobuo Iida in Tokyo's parks.

In touch with photography from a young age, driven by a desire to capture the phenomena around him, he adopted his current style after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011.
The general feeling in Japan at that time was anxious and desperate, and a few days after wanting to reverse this dark feeling, Iida went out into a park and was struck by the light reflecting off the plants; it was as if "many 'suns' shone like fireworks or chandeliers."

To capture what he was witnessing, he began to use a technique he had used years before. By using the wrong lenses on his camera, he made the images brighter, revealing hidden particles of light "and merged plants and light, integrating mystical nostalgia and joy."
