A transient meeting point, the train station serves as a place for travellers embarking towards a destination. The railway contains encounters and movement of people from different places converging at a certain point of time and serves as a place where paths briefly cross one another. Terima Dengan Rela is the artist's construction of space, featuring a realistic depiction of the gestures of an elderly man sitting along the train tracks, with a rucksack. The artist used swift, expressive lines and muted colours to convey stories and portraits derived from his acute observations of life. At times, life is hard, life goes on, we move on with Hope.
