The two paintings depict near identical views of a railway siding, painted in low saturated colors, almost greyscale (as if the source images may have been shot with a night vision apparatus). Installed alongside one another, the similarity of the two images prompts the viewer to compare them and try to find their differences. As the changes are subtle, the effect is slightly disorienting.
