Where are these people? It looks like a subway car, but it can't be, they're not facing the right directions; is it a train station, waiting for the arrival of a train that's late? So unclear, yet I know I know this place, have been there myself, felt those same feelings . . .. Delightful.
Having never been to NYC, I can only say that this makes me think. Almost like a voyeur, peering into someone elses life.
Is she on her way to shop, or to work, on her way home maybe, are her husband and children waiting for her, does she have any of those? So many thoughts going through my head! :)
Yeah, this works for me very well for the blur aspect in tandem with the unknowable story here... I love wondering what's in this woman's head, and why this bit of graffiti should make me wonder even more. Very nice.
This is just so totally Emo, the graffiti is perfectly placed to make it look as though she's crying, no doubt from all those confusing thoughts whirling around above her head. A wonderful capture.
