“Ghosts of the Transit Hour” from Luis R.R. Siqueira’s Impermanence series explores the liminal space of daily city life — the in-between moments we rarely remember clearly. A hooded figure moves toward the viewer, cloaked in motion blur, their identity abstracted into form and gesture. Behind them, others drift across a faintly shimmering urban floor, more presence than person.
Shot outside Vancouver’s Waterfront Station, this monochrome composition embraces the intangible. The tiled pavement and vertical architecture offer just enough anchoring to hold the weight of these dissolving bodies. It’s a portrait of urban anonymity — a visual metaphor for the blur of shared spaces, separate lives, and subconscious rhythms.
Rather than freeze time, the photograph lets it stretch, acknowledging that what stays with us from the city is not detail, but feeling — fleeting, ghostlike, and true.
