| This painting imagines a moment on the subway, familiar yet slightly surreal,
Each character exists in their own space, a girl with headphones, a man in a Joker costume holding a cat, an elderly woman in hanbok, a reader with an owl, and a man nodding off in a suit,
One figure, absorbed in her phone, feels especially symbolic,
She is connected to the world in her hands, yet disconnected from the people beside her,
On this train, they are all together, but not truly together,
I wanted to capture that quiet contradiction, how we share physical space, but live in separate mental worlds.
