Image description: A square format image shows a collage of 3D scans of Glasgow Central Station. The collage is surreal and its digital quality is ghost-like, showing a warped perspective of a blue ScotRail train carriage, a ticket desk, grey tiled floor and exteriors of the building. The centre of the image shows a grey platform with the word ​“GRAHAMSTON” written across it in yellow sans serif font.
