Chance Encounter

While travelling we 'meet' strangers (or also people we know) by chance and 'connect' with them for a brief moment, but not have time for a meaningful exchange of words due to our busy lifes.
They might know each other or who might not? Maybe they are attracted to each other? But in this situation they have no chance for an exchange - they can't escape the flow of time - maybe they decide to turn around at the end of the escalator, maybe they just continue with their journeys and their busy lifes.....

A big thanks to the people of the critique forum who helped me to bring this photo to this level.

Accepted at the 35th Taipei International Exhibition of Photography
