Arrivals and Departures: The Geometry of Transit

This photo shows an escalator tunnel where people are either arriving or leaving. The strong lines and repeating patterns in the photo guide the viewer’s eyes both inward and outward, depending on how one sees the journey—arrival or departure. The shapes and reflections create a clean, geometric rhythm across the frame. Each person on the steps has their own story, just like each viewer may see this moment differently. A simple transit space becomes a quiet study of lines, motion, and perspective.
