Baker Street

The drawing represents a scene of everyday life in a characteristic place in London: Baker Street, a station on the London Underground in the City of Westminster. It is one of the original stations of the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first underground railway, opened in 1863. The underground station is flooded with natural light by a row of cleverly designed light wells that direct non-direct light onto the platform. The shifting of the sun produces distinct lighting situations according to the time of day. A play of light and shadows. The light sculpts the forms. Lighting is not seen as separate from the architecture. It is the primary building material. In a place that undergoes the fascination of time.
The main character is waiting. Someone or something. Waiting is when you are suspended in time, traveling, not with your body but, with your mind. You get carried away by thoughts.
