Un Sedicesimo 83

Every evening, on the platform of Takadanobaba Station, many people stand facing the same direction. They finish different jobs, return to different homes, and carry different thoughts. But on the platform, these differences fade away. They stand simply as one among many in the crowd. That scene intrigued me. The countless stories that once defined them as individuals lose their force the moment they step onto the platform. In my lens, too, they lose their individuality. After shooting, I also stand there, waiting for my train home — Karlkanitrunk
