Thank you for the insight into your piece! It seems this is the only piece where you have chosen to paint yourself. What was that decision guided by?

I like that you shared your simultaneous consciousness with the audience and left the other characters for the audience to wonder. They too have that combination of physical and mental consciousness but seeing your perspective, we don't have purview into their mental space. It exists, but like in the passing of strangers in public transportation, we are not privy to this information.

When did you start sketching in buses? Are these renditions born out of your sketches or mental recollections of what you observed? I'm interested in the details that you obscure versus those that you expand on, whether instinctual or intentional.
