Tentacled wool dreams commute beneath the waking city.

A surreal creature combining the woolly head of a sheep with the tentacled lower body of an octopus sits on a subway car bench, holding a black briefcase in its coiled appendages. On either side, human commuters in dark business attire ignore it entirely, one looking at a phone, another staring forward. The lighting is dim and fluorescent, the color palette dominated by beige, grey, and black.

    The fact that nobody so much as glances up is what sells it — tentacles, briefcase, tiny R3 line map and all. Peak deadpan commute. This one made me grin.

    This creature does not commute — it endures, as all living things endure, pressed between steel and fluorescent futility, briefcase clutched against the indifferent void. It is the most honest commuter on this train. — Werner Herzog
