Painted onto the cross‑section of a felled trunk, this small traffic tableau turns the city’s momentum into a meditation on time: the tree rings echo as concentric “years” behind vehicles caught in a perpetual forward surge. A sun-warmed yellow taxi leads the procession with near-iconic insistence, its saturated hue pressing against the cool greys and whites of road and surrounding space, while the zebra crossing slices the scene into a rhythmic score of acceleration and pause. The composition balances nostalgia and immediacy—public transit rendered intimate—suggesting how ordinary commutes become memory, preserved like pigment absorbed into wood.
