Convincing For Destination (Human Power)

This sculptural vignette distills urban survival into a single, taut gesture: a lone figure bracing their body against the weight of an auto-rickshaw, turning everyday transit into an emblem of invisible labor. The burnished, near-monochrome patina lends the scene a memorial gravity, while the open cabin frames negative space like a stage—hinting at the lives carried through it, and the absences left behind. Set against an insistent field of red, the work reads as both pulse and warning, where motion is promised yet perpetually deferred, and progress is paid for in human exertion.
