Vulnerable Closeness

Train Antwerp–Brussels – everyone close together, yet apart.
In the enclosed space of the train, people of different cultures, faiths and ages come together.
They travel in the same direction, but don't always see each other.
Everyone is absorbed in their own rhythm, and yet they are connected by an invisible thread of human vulnerability.
The boy with the sweet looks at everyone – without judgement, without distinction, with a childlike openness in which the world is reflected.
