While on my way to Vietnam, I passed through Bangkok’s controversial new Airport, and made this image while waiting for my plane to depart. The airport is vast in scale, its departure terminals lined with multi-level mazes of glass enclosed ramps suspended on steel scaffolds. I intended this image to symbolize what travel in the 21st century has become – an ordeal based on lack of trust. Travelers must negotiate this maze of ramps as they are processed by airport security agents. In this image, I pair two people. A passenger descends a ramp in front of us, unmindful of the fact that a distant figure appears to be watching him do so. She may or may not be a security agent. She could even be a flight attendant. But she is in uniform and she seems to have stopped her own descent to watch him moved towards his departure gate. Both people seem overwhelmed by the scale and design of the environment. This relationship of figures suspended in time, space and context, symbolically speaks of curtailed freedoms, distrust, fear, and dehumanization through its scale incongruity, mood, and atmosphere
