In the Subway

Year: 2025

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

Size: 22” x 16”

Others: In the cramped stillness of a subway car, strangers from different walks of life sit side by side, bound together for a fleeting moment by a shared destination. A Shared Commute captures this quiet, everyday intimacy — the subtle unity that exists in public spaces where language, class, and culture may differ, but presence is mutual. Through vibrant color, contrasting textures, and the details of hands, shoes, and bags, this painting reflects the beauty of coexistence without spectacle. It is a portrait not of individuals, but of the collective rhythm we fall into when we move through a city — together, apart.
