Life Wheel 17 (A World Within)

This work turns the automobile into a lens of memory, where the immaculate geometry of the whitewall tire frames a miniature city alive with taxis and motion, as if modern life is being archived inside a single rotating emblem. The composition is engineered with near-architectural precision—arcing fenders, crisp striping, and lacquered surfaces compressing the world into concentric rings that pull the eye inward. Warm reds and creams carry the romance of vintage design, while the cool, distant street scene introduces a faint detachment, suggesting nostalgia not as comfort but as a meticulously polished distance from the present. In this collision of chrome-like clarity and urban bustle, the piece meditates on travel as both escape and containment, a journey held captive in a perfect circle.
