About the Artwork

Passing Through depicts a crowded jeepney travelling through the streets of Cebu. Inspired by a recent visit to the Philippines, the painting explores the shared experience of commuting and moving through daily life. Although the atmosphere differed from England, I found a sense of familiarity in this everyday movement. A figure looking directly at the viewer captures the brief connection of making eye contact with a stranger in a crowd.
