Life in Transit

by Alyosha Robillos

Movement, whether it be by wheels, by sea-craft, by plane, or by foot is very much part and parcel of our human makeup--embedded in the very essence of our existence. To move is to live. Moments of movement determine who we are and who we can be. When life leads us to places familiar and unknown, we not only discover spaces and new routes, we find ourselves as well. People are built and designed to move and travel; people build and design to move and travel. We do this everyday, rain or shine, unconsciously or with firm decision. Some find solace in this daily motion, but only a few truly appreciate the energy that flows from one stranger to another while in transit. Majority feel the desire to skip this part of their life because there are times when the city’s hustle and bustle--its grit and grime--can be quite a handful to take in. And then there are also those who consider commute as travel, a way of exploring places both old and new. This photo series embodies the ebb and flow of life in transit, through which audiences are offered an opportunity to see their ever-kinetic city in a new light.
