Last Train to San Fernando

"Last Train to San Fernando" is a sculptural piece that captures the nostalgia and historical significance of Trinidad's railway system, which operated from 1876 to 1968. The sculpture pays homage to the famous calypso song by Mighty Sparrow that immortalized this cultural touchstone.

The railway was more than just a means of transportation—it was a lifeline that connected communities and facilitated the movement of people, goods, and ideas across the island. This piece explores themes of progress, connection, and the bittersweet nature of modernization.

Using reclaimed materials including wood, metal, and found objects from San Fernando itself, the sculpture incorporates authentic elements that speak to both the industrial nature of the railway and the warm, vibrant culture of Trinidad.
