Passengers Within

Joaquín De Luz

The idea of Passengers Within is inspired by today's society. We have become slaves to the system and paradigm we live in. Technology, the media, consumerism keep the population sleepwalking and we wander like zombies to the incessant beat they set for us.

From the moment you get up you are bombarded, with no respite, by incessant waves of information like the music of Philip Glass. We are subjugated and judged by society’s expectations of us. Stereotypes and morals obligate us to follow a script that is too generic for us to be individuals. The principal couple represent people who are awakening; who are questioning things. They do not want to be passengers but, rather, to rule their own lives based on their essence and their presence.
