More #TTC subway horrors – anxiety driven artwork at track level
I spend way too much time on the TTC, but it sure beats sitting in the traffic above ground. Which brings me to more horrors along the Union Station stop. I swear, the artist behind them must hate humans. The people are usually so bowed and defeated looking. I’m puzzled why they were picked:
I call this one “Happiness is two cars over”. Bleak, depression and mind numbing. I caught a cool reflection in the one on the right, which makes the photo a bit more interesting. Otherwise meh.
Then we have the two at the far end of the platform:
Mr and Mrs Thundercloud. They could be pensive, or tired. But I’ve noticed a real trend with the artwork on the TTC – everyone looks loaded down with worries.
This one isn’t bad.
The kid simply looks bored or eager to get off because he has to pee. Take your pick.
In a city brimming with talent, they should have picked something that doesn’t evoke such negative emotions.
