The Commute is a stunning mixed media creation that brings together oil pastels and collage to create a rich and textured composition. The piece draws inspiration from the bold and vibrant colours of the 90s and captures the mood of a dark and cold evening on a train.

In the foreground, a figure is depicted sitting on the train, wrapped in a hoodie and sitting next to a window. The figure is drawn with bold and expressive strokes, with a strong emphasis on the contours and textures of their clothing and skin.

The train itself is constructed with layers of different drawings, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The interior of the train is made in muted tones, with the occasional pop of vibrant colour to create visual interest and contrast.

Through the window, a glimpse into the outside world can be viewed, with the dark and cold evening sky. Underneath the heavy sky a cityscape in the distance can barely be seen through the fog, similar to early game design of the 90s.

Overall, the piece is a meditation on the feeling of loneliness and isolation that can come with traveling on a cold and dark evening, with the figure on the train serving as a symbol of the internal struggle to find meaning and connection in an indifferent world. The use of strong colours and bold shapes creates a sense of energy and movement, evoking the restless and uncertain mood of the piece.
