Is it too much of a stretch to suggest this image isn't too far removed from the caveman carvings from 10000 years ago? There's something raw and human about the need to leave a mark, and the character on the left-hand side certainly has the rudimentary feeling of our ancestor's efforts. This bathroom truly is a raw canvas of its inhabitants, a true reflection of the comings and goings it has seen. Its a tiny snapshot of the life of this place. A Sunday night with live music playing for tips. Also, the lock doesn't work, so be very careful if you ever go. "There’s something special about the familiar, even if you look at it but don't see it. Knowing what to expect even if you haven't ever been there. Bathrooms represent the moment between the moments, a chance to reflect, both figuratively and literally. A brief moment of purgatory, a rare moment of the day when you are forced to do nothing. Alone with our thoughts, a blank canvas. Giving life to this machine that we have seen a million times before, but never looked at. At once recognisable but forgettable. Giving it life, and then taking it away. The last moment in our brief routine is only remarkable with its unremarkable-ness. To capture the moments we never knew we had."
