A reflection helps me create this layered image of a woman having a cup of coffee and reading a document while ignoring the chaos of rush hour swirling around her. A large window reflects a subway entrance, with bikes locked to its cage-like bars. The reflected bars metaphorically lock the woman into a routine she repeats five days a week. The window also reflects a blurred taxi and scurrying pedestrians, merging them into the woman, who never looks up from her reading. She lives in a maelstrom and somehow accepts it as normalcy.
