Interpretive text
Time flies by and its trace remains only as vivid images and muted words. Unless we have film documenting every minute of our lives, the imageries of moments past can only really be visualised as a silent film within our minds. Within my book I have attempted to capture three moments in the lives of a subway carriage filled with strangers, and in the process, a moment in the life of the reader as well. The photos are in black and white representing the mind’s ‘silent film’ and the optical illusion of the repeated endless central bar changing from one direction to another portrays how life can turn on a single moment. There are three pages, each containing text bubbles emerging from mobile devices held by my characters and I have included a window at the front for each viewer to experience that particular moment within one of their own.
