Henceforth the Aspirations and goals, expectations from the industry, and exploitation by the industry stick around a
seesaw.

BEYOND WORKPLACES

The social and spatial experiences inconsequent to the workplace scrabble identified

- Lorry drivers in and about their halt spaces

The inanimate quality of their parking lots, in no way hospitable space for the drivers to recess

- Extensive physical labor and emotional toil around their economic conditions and unhealthy working styles turn to
concentrations around leisure. Somehow they end up in Wine shops. 7 spread-out TASMACs buzzing with tired workers
after work.

- This activity in turn, create new cycles of work stories

- emergency and security needs beyond workplaces

- institutions and mismatched skills

- Vulnerability in after work commute and social security ( especially female workers)
