Dayton Airport Taxicab
Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
The Dayton Airport Taxicab is the immediate vessel of transition; it offers C.J. a private, enclosed movement away from the public stage of Terminal A and toward the intimate, difficult space of the reunion and her father's house.
A brief refuge: warm, idling engine, rhythmic wipers; contrasts the rain and exposure outside.
Practical transport from the terminal to the reunion; symbolic bridge from duty to family.
A short-lived sanctuary where decision becomes action — she commits to going.
Open to public hire; no limitations shown.
The taxicab functions as the immediate vehicle of separation: C.J. uses it to leave the public terminal area and head toward the reunion, choosing a solitary transit option over lingering companionship.
A brief, warmer interior refuge against the rain—practical and solitary.
Means of departure and physical closure of the terminal conversation; facilitates C.J.'s movement toward the next, more intimate beat.
Represents the decision to proceed alone into the emotional challenge rather than stay in the familiar comfort Marco offers.
Publicly available taxi service; open to any passenger.
