A collage of diagonal lines is mirrored through sharp steel
shapes, converging towards a silhouette of a human figure. The female can be
seen wearing a coat down to her knees, although it is unclear of her identity.
She has long light coloured hair, tied into a pony tail. The coated figure is
stood in front of a grid, tiles which are reminiscent of a swimming pool,
however not under water. This semblance of water is repeated through advertisements
which are reflected by the metal. Corrugated teeth form horizontal steps, which
get closer towards the woman, interrupting the pattern of line. Twenty-five can
be seen, before they are merged by light. This light stems from seven white
holes, overhead and once again converging to the centre, but cut short by an
arch, separating the ceiling from the moving ground. Disappearing into the
reflection, the steps give a gradient affect, suggesting an ongoing illusion of
foreverness, as if you will never reach the top. Combined with the isolation
and cold metal, the escalator appears eerie, as though you are lost within the
geometric lines and forms of the underground.
