Train on its Side

Train on Its Side challenges our obsession with speed and progress. The train—an icon of movement and industrial purpose—rests quietly, not wrecked but removed from its track. Set within a quiet rural landscape, the work contrasts mechanical intent with the steady presence of nature. In its stillness, the train invites reflection: What happens when momentum comes to a halt? What can be learned when we step outside the systems we’ve built? The work suggests that by slowing down, we open space for reimagining and for listening to the natural world. This is a visual idea for an outdoor work I would love to create, but for the expense.
