The path is part of students’ daily journey home. To introduce an additional layer of perception to this otherwise unremarkable route, I concealed speakers beneath storm drain covers to play the metro arrival chime, pairing them with LED light strips that simulate the shifting light and shadows cast by a passing train. 

By merging sound and light, the installation links the underground metro station to the sewer space, transforming it into an unseen metro station—one that exists not as a physical structure, but as an experience shaped entirely by perception.
