I am drawn to the multiple meanings of the word ‘transitory.’ The transit system is transitory because it is impermanent. We can predict the bus system being replaced by the popularization of ride sharing and driverless cars in the near future. When we travel through spaces like bus stops and underground rail entrances, our experience is transitory too. The amount of time we spend in these transitional spaces may be short-lived and temporary, but when taken together, they can make a profound and lasting effect on our well-being.

I use colored pencil to outline bus routes and watercolor to paint the map drawing. I mixed any two neighboring colors directly onto the paper, resulting in bleeds. These bleeds and imperfections mark transitions between spaces on the cityscape.
