These photographs taken on the platform of the Wien Westbahnhof station in September 9th 2015, capturing the huge numbers of refugees pouring into Western Europe from the Middle East. This work has been exhibited in a variety of public spaces, including former temporary refugee camps, before being published as a book of photographs in the midst of the new coronavirus pandemic, following an editing process that took five years from the time it was taken. “Station" is a place where people gather to move from one place to another, waiting for what comes next. No matter how rich or poor you are, no matter your social class, when you reach the "station" you are equally forced to "wait". We are moving and stop at numerous “stations” to exchange welcomes and farewells. Every time we encounter another person, we begin to weave a new tapestry.
