obvious figure/ground relationship

Exploring around the campus of City Tech I found this metro card. As it was discarded publicly, you can see from a art point of view that one’s man person trash is another one’s treasure. This being said I was able to identity this card as stable, The metro card has a flat surface with pointed and directed line fragments which allow it to has a specific shape. I would classify this metro card with more of a rectangle shape. Furthermore after careful examination this would be geometric.
The background history of this metro card can come from thousands of different ways. However I believe I know the true findings behind it. This story begins with James; on a regular school day James takes the bus to school, Although he usually has a monthly metro he forgot to refill it. This being said James had to use quarters, nickels, and dimes to travel. As James was taking the bm2 to school he realized he didn’t have a way back home. This being said James asked for a transfer, the item you see in this image. I and many know a transfer has a two hour limit, but James didn’t know he’ll be in school longer than expected which led to it being expired.
