ALL ABOARD!
BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS
about
Eileen began her series 'All Aboard!' in 2018 while still living in Brooklyn, New York. While commuting to work on the subway system she began photographing fellow commuters with her cell phone. The images she took depicted ordinary people surrounded with all "their stuff" including iPhones, books, and designer bags, participating in the humble act of commuting..
She began to see these images contained an important message. "The barriers that normally separate us were obscured; the subway car became a space of quiet compatability. As I took in the individuals in the photographs. I began to seee our common characteristics and our unique nuances."
This series was exhibited at:
Gallery 120
Largo Public Library in Largo, Florida
in April & May of 2023
