This project began in early 2020 as the pandemic was unfolding and continued until 2023. The regional trains coming out of Barcelona are adorned in graffiti and as I travelled up and down the Mediterranean coast a story emerged, one about the challenges we face. I saw a struggle, between now and then, the virus and us, the future and the past, the beauty and the pain.

The images offer two dimensional perspectives, the graffitied foreground and the Mediterranean background. Travelling offers three dimensional simultaneous perspectives on where we are, where we were and where we are going, a stereoscopic threading of all moments of time and thought simultaneously.

Movement exposes the fragility of time, place, identity.  The trains, covered with expressions from unknown hands during a time like the pandemic, seemed to echo a collective grappling with impermanence and an awareness of both beauty and chaos.

As I continued the project beyond the pandemic I found more connections, some personal, some from the world in front of me, the immigrant nightmare unfolding in the Mediterranean..…  I found a tension between creation and destruction as we travel through time and space, the eternal ebb and flow, between good and bad, the visible spectrum, darkness and light…….
