The Dividing Line
The Dividing Line. Captured while boarding a train to Vienna, this image isolates the moment of transition. The bright, diagonal beam of light visually and symbolically divides the subterranean tunnel, creating a "pocket of light" for the figure. This high-contrast monochrome study uses the architecture’s stark geometry to emphasize themes of solitude and the individual's journey.
