Signal

The work stages an everyday rickshaw as a luminous vessel of passage, its bright mosaic skin—stamped with birds and directional marks—suggesting the restless traffic of signs, memories, and small hopes that animate public life. Against it, shadowed figures stand like anonymous witnesses or unspoken histories, while the driver’s simplified profile turns inward, as if steering through an interior city as much as a physical one. The hovering birds and the three emblematic medallions below read as a shifting hierarchy of omens—freedom, watchfulness, and loss—binding the scene into a quiet allegory of movement amid social crowding and private solitude.
