Heikō, the Japanese word for equilibrium, is a photography book that explores the importance and imprint of the body on the suburban landscape. Published in 2023, Heikō acts as the culmination of Jack’s studies at the University of California, San Diego, and was created with the expertise of Lorena Mostajo. The project draws inspiration from Todd Hido’s series of night photography projects as well as Wolfgang Tillman’s use of micro/macro within his work. The book is 40 pages, full color, with a foil stamp cover designed by Alyssa Lefevre.
