"The artist doesn't want us to untangle this" because you can't. I was just navigating the NY subways from Newark to Brooklyn yesterday evening and I can't tell you how many things I saw, in real time, that I couldn't have predicted or untangled. I love how adeptly this piece conveys the "I'm not sure what's going on down here" of this momentary, continually changing experience. I also loved the note about the artist having strong ties to jazz because I thought of a wind instrument in the hand of the figure on the right and wondered if I needed more sleep, lol. Dr. Zucker hit it on the head: there's music to being in the city that I've never heard anywhere else. I see the score metaphor too. ❤❤
You know what? I'm gonna co-sign this, lol. She has that wary expression on with the closed-off, uncomfortable body language to match... Even her hair suggests "frazzled" to me - poor thing. I haven't been accosted in the subway yet, but I felt for her.
@@Sasha0927 I hope you never do. I took the subway for years and had that expression lots of times. It also reminds me of looking around to see if I could pretend to know someone and thereby discourage the creeps.

As a Manhattan resident, I can confirm this is a normal subway platform on any given day 😂
The purple woman seems to be alarmed, maybe by the unwanted attention of the figure to the left of her which seems predatory.

@@elainealibrandi6364 I'm very sorry you've had to deal with that, but I love and will adopt your creep-evasion strategy. That's good!
