DESCRIPTION
"Bad Travelling II by Sara Black is about, a solitary figure sits on the train, caught in the quiet tumult of his thoughts. Hands cradle his jaw, eyes softly closed, his is floating in the sea of introspection, or reflection.
 
His journey – homeward, work-bound, or simply essential – unfolds in the stillness of this moment.   I capture the intimate daydreaming, a transient yet universal experience of reflection we all share during these travels.
 
It is a silent communion, a thread that binds our solitary journeys into a collective web of human existence.
