Kazimierz "Kazik" Jankowski

an industrial suburb of Gdansk, Poland

Kazik Jankowski has spent over four decades at the small bus station in Gdańsk, a place where he has found solace and stability amidst the chaos of life. Shaped by the rhythms of arriving and departing buses, his world revolves around structured schedules and the familiarity of commuters' faces. Yet, at night, his thoughts drift to the station's leaky roof and the unknown future, which he combats with a whistle and the comforting routine of his duties.
