Metro Layers

Metro Layers examines how people occupy the layered interiors of public transit systems. Within metro cars, platforms, escalators, and station corridors, multiple scenes unfold simultaneously—individuals waiting, watching, crossing paths, or remaining absorbed within their own routines. Poles, seats, windows, and narrow aisles organize these shifting relationships, compressing strangers into shared space while preserving emotional distance. The photographs focus on how transit architecture structures overlapping gestures, glances, and movements, revealing the metro as a continuously changing arrangement of parallel lives held temporarily together within a shared system.
