Almost totally devoid of people, this piece focuses on the methods of transport which move us through our urban environments. From the desolation of a shopping mall parking lot through the colourful display of hazy brake lights, we are exposed to a wide range of traveling experiences. Although comical at times, "Ride Home" also reminds us of the imminent destruction and hollow passage of urban travel.
