At Zurich’s central station, the red clock pulses like an urban heart — marking the present, the future, and the past. More than a timekeeper, it is a silent witness to departures and reunions that define the soul of humanity in motion. The Faces in Transit collection by Nawi Rhu is born from this sensitive space-time, where faces cross without meeting eyes, and stories intertwine in silence.

Each piece uses a distinct fragmented cubist technique to compose scenes of emotional depth, where time flows through geometries, expressions, and suspended gestures. The faces portrayed by Nawi are not individual portraits, but entanglements of collective emotion: solitude among crowds, love that leaves and returns, memories of those who passed without a name.

The constant presence of the clock — in vibrant red — symbolizes this marker of meetings and partings, imposing rhythm on the chaos. It watches, listens, and whispers: reminding us that we are all just passengers.

This collection is an invitation to listen to the invisible.
The lights, the fragments, the overlays, and the silences make visible what the city almost erases: the human.
