Life Wheel 24 (A Glimpse of Kolkata)

This work turns the car’s wheel into a hypnotic lens, where concentric bands of red, black, and chrome compress the world into a single, vibrating aperture. The glossy bodywork reads as pure surface and desire, yet at its center a lived street scene—crowds, facades, and a mustard-yellow taxi—appears like a memory captured in polished metal. By staging modern urban life inside the geometry of motion, the artist suggests how the city is consumed through speed and reflection, with everyday humanity framed by the seductive machinery that carries it forward.
