This collection of works is based on my life in Vancouver, Canada. As a bus commuter, I usually use public transportation to get around. A relationship is depicted between my life on the Vancouver bus and the public environment. The same seat on the bus is occupied by different people at different times, which changes my view of the passengers. It creates an overlapping effect. In my piece, each overlaid passenger is combined with different parts of the human body. It creates a unique, exquisite passenger body, with each part representing a different person.

An installation sculpture work influenced by my local bus, supported by wood and wheels. Using photographs I took while riding the bus, I painted a design on top of each printed image, exaggerating or adding certain unique features. This allowed me to create my own bus passengers, as well as my own bus. I then took pictures of the art piece on display at a public bus stop.
