"The Travelers"

Traveling from one place to another. Commuting. Carrying with you what you need. Using available transit wherever you are in the world. Seeing out from within the mode of travel; be it a Metro bus here, an open air truck or bus somewhere else, or a bullet train speeding by the landscape so fast that only the passengers exist for the moment of commute. One measure of a society is how it moves its people from point A to point B, access and availability for all, and how they interact within and between these points.

This is part of a seven bus shelter project in the Kirkland area for teens. A partnership between:
City of Kirkland, Youth Volunteer Corp., Kirkland Art Center, Lake Washington School District and Metro Transit.
