Wild at Soul. Among the sea of traditional commuters, some stick out for having a spirit that can only be described as really wild. This specific scene catches someone bringing the spirit of wilderness into the little areas of public transportation. Their look and manner point to a free spirit that defies social norms on suitable public transit clothing or behaviour. Maybe it’s their unquenchable display of personality that distinguishes them from the throng, or maybe their wardrobe suggests a link to nature. Their untamed nature and the controlled, ordered surroundings of public transit produce an intriguing dichotomy. Even as they keep a polite distance, fellow passengers find themselves pulled to this show of unfettered genuineness. This wild-hearted person reminds us that under the surface of our civilised activities, there is a basic need for autonomy and expression. Their presence encourages people to embrace their own inner wildness, therefore subverting the idea that public places have to always follow strict societal rules.
