2024, "Respite: The Moments In Between"
In this photograph, Peter Turnley’s candid capturing of a traveler’s fatigue indicate the necessity in modern life of finding respite in the moments in between. As the two young girls recline on the woman’s lap, and she leans her head on the wall behind her, they are embodying the very theme of this exhibit. Their exhaustion and the woman standing to the left indicate the business of the train car and people going about their lives all around. Within this small moment, there is a sense of time being frozen as they wait for their destination.
