AiR-Project:

Public transportation seems to have a great importance and is used by all sorts of people. They spend a lot of time in it. Trains in Switzerland are very reliable and punctual. I figured, the patterns of the seats could be used as represtentatives of the Swiss day to day atmosphere and reflect many aspects of it. I plan to create a new series of paintings based on the collected material in the public transports of different areas of Switzerland.
