Commuter Ghost

The concept of the half-self, the half-present self, is explored in the context of the Tokyo commute. Are we ever wholly present, or are we merely in transit?

Exerpt

A ghost en route for most of its waking hours, fractured and transparent until safely inside its home. People move through the metropolis's concrete, glass and steel like wi/fi through the air. A frequency of themselves, one that does not fully come in tune. Out of phase while stationary in motion. A catatonic seizure of sadness, free to all who don’t observe it.
