I. Past
II. Present
III. Future

Travelogues is a meditation on the past, present, and future of human migration:

The “past” recalls my childhood, in transit among the misty verdant mountains of Southeast China...
The “present” depicts megacities and their complex, interconnected transit systems...
The “future” imagines our eventual travels into the stars...
