Sirui Ma's Empathetic Portrait of New York's Hidden Subway Conductors
Briefly

Sirui Ma’s latest project, Subway Portraits, was born from nostalgia for home and curiosity about train conductors, who often remain hidden in plain sight.
Ma's project features 64 meticulously hand-printed portraits of New York City MTA train conductors, showcasing their individuality despite the uniforms they wear.
The book captures the essence of daily life for subway workers, showing how the commute can be transformed into an artistic exploration of identity and humanity.
Through her photography, Ma invites viewers to see subway conductors not just as faceless workers, but as unique individuals with their own stories and character.
