This image captures a large, vertically oriented deep purple banner displayed within the Kyiv Central Railway Station (Kyiv-Pasazhyrskyi) in Kyiv, Ukraine. The banner features white, left-aligned English text: ""Life is like a station... Some arrive, others depart. Kisses and wounds, bags and suitcases, words and phrases—all at once." Below the quote, "Lina Kostenko" is printed, identifying the author. The banner is secured at its top edge by a horizontal metal bar, fastened by multiple visible grommets. Above this, the underside of a concrete ceiling structure is visible, composed of parallel rough-textured beams. Several lighter-colored metal girders or support beams run perpendicular to the concrete, integrating with the banner's mounting system. To the left of the banner, a vibrant yellow wall with a coarse, textured finish displays a subtle geometric pattern of overlapping triangles and squares in a slightly darker shade. Below this yellow wall, a section of a building facade with dark-framed windows is partially visible. The scene is brightly lit. No individuals or specific actions are depicted.
