Colors and Lines

I captured this engaging photo at Termini, Piazza dei Cinquecento, focusing on vibrant contrasts of color and structure. The subway platform is framed by yellow and grey tiled walls, which draw the eye toward a graffitied train in the center. The graffiti adds a burst of individuality and urban culture to the mechanical backdrop, creating a captivating visual. The lighting from overhead fixtures casts a soft yet industrial glow, highlighting both the train and walls without harsh shadows. Behind the paint and steel, people sit, giving a glimpse into daily life and routine. The symmetry provided by the walls and the linear floor pattern enhances the composition, directing attention to the central art on the train. The modern atmosphere of Termini contrasts against Rome's rich historic background, reflecting the city's blend of old and new. This image speaks to my appreciation for finding beauty in the mundane and connecting with the energy of a bustling metropolis.
