In Fermata Bus, Giuseppe Ragazzini combines drawn elements with collage to capture a fleeting moment at a bus stop. The partially transparent figure in red contrasts with the bold, solid bus in the background, creating a ghostly effect that hints at impermanence. Inside the bus, fragmented, introspective faces underscore a sense of urban isolation. The vibrant reds and dark tones create a surreal, cinematic atmosphere, evoking the disconnection of city life.
Ragazzini’s layered technique captures movement, as if depicting a memory dissolving. The main figure’s fluid, incomplete form highlights the transitory nature of everyday interactions. The blending of hand-drawn and collage elements adds depth, reflecting Ragazzini’s interest in the fluidity of identity.
In Fermata Bus, Ragazzini explores human experience in public spaces, where proximity doesn’t guarantee connection. This piece encourages viewers to contemplate the introspection and subtle disconnection that permeates collective urban life.
