#Station

A platform is the stage of the railway world that positions people between safety and purgatory. Here, one endlessly waits for the same numbered train only to be crushed the moment it arrives. There is no scenic beauty, just an infinite loop of hope and dread for the next carriage. The conductor’s magical incantation, “Now departing,” becomes the only glimmer of life, and at that moment the crowd surges as one. Despite epitomizing travel efficiency, a platform may well be the ultimate contraption for meaningless waiting.
