Malayasia-based photographer Enig Hui set out on a journey to capture subway stations around the world that have stunning aesthetics. The globe-trotting photography created a beautiful series of the stations he encountered. Each one of them has some sort of symmetrical structure.

Clearly, the artist has quite the eye for composition considering he manages to make the usually dirty underground world look beautiful and geometrical. Some of his photographs include the world's most well-known subway transit systems like the Paris and Tokyo metros and the London Underground. His series of photos is aptly dubbed 'Another State of Mind,' which is clearly an evident trait he encapsulates in order to spot the symmetrical spots. It takes a person who looks beyond the cover of a book to capture a series like his.
