Midnight cargo

Midnight cargo. 2019.

A lone refrigerated freight carriage rests under a sky full of stars, caught somewhere between workday industry and quiet cosmic time. The warm light on the metal sides feels almost theatrical, picking out graffiti, rivets, and the bold typography of “REFRIGERATION” while the rail yard itself slips into shadow. Above, the Milky Way drifts across the frame, soft and distant, turning an ordinary piece of rolling stock into a small stage for the night sky.
