I have taken many trains and buses. As I am shoved up against other desperate commuters in rush hour, I sometimes marvel at how the inappropriate and nearly impossible becomes a sweaty reality in certain circumstances. Could I be this close to this frowning man in a suit if there were nobody else on the train? Certainly not. I think a lot about personal space and how it conflicts with and relates to the need to connect and be close to other people on all levels. I did these drawings in colored pencils with this in mind.
