Welcome to Southampton

Graphite on paper

My entry point to Southampton, I know I’ve arrived when I hit this roundabout. This is a portrait of the Redbridge roundabout that sees everything that encompasses Southampton. This is a place common to the goods, workers, locals, cruisers, shoppers, commuters, who all pass through here before being spun in and out of the port and the city. A very modern city gate.
