Never Forget: Unexpected Mirrored Passengers On Public Transit
Text content
Never Forget
Overview
This candid photograph is shot from the front of a public subway or light rail car, looking down the central aisle between two rows of blue patterned seats. Four passengers are arranged in an almost perfectly symmetrical, mirror-like formation across the two sides of the aisle: on the left front, a Black woman in a red work polo shirt sits looking down at her phone while holding another device to her ear, with a Black man in a gray hoodie behind her also using his phone. On the right front, a young white person in a black baseball cap and black t-shirt sits looking down at their phone, with a person in a red hoodie behind them holding a hand over their face. The near-identical positioning and actions of the pairs of passengers makes the scene look like a mirror reflection at first glance, which is the core humorous joke of the meme paired with the title 'Never Forget'.
