This project snapshots scenes from local train lines and train stations, where the maintenance and renovation of inarguably one of the most important infrastructures of our city results in the removal of surrounding flora that inhibits it. These new landscapes are ever evolving, whether due to expansion by the city or reclamation by flora, results in an often conflicting and never stable landscaping.

These impressions are imprinted into, ironically PVC skins, the implications of plastics alongside a critique of the erasure of our natural landscapes. Then furthermore crammed into display cases as archival evidence for an audience.
