Forgotten (Rust and Remembrance)

In this tightly cropped tangle of bicycles, the composition turns everyday transit into a quiet archaeology of urban life—metal frames overlapping like remembered routes, halted mid‑journey. A warm, dusty ground dissolves into granular washes while sharp, lacquered highlights skim rims and spokes, allowing light to behave as both exposure and erasure. The repeated circles create a restless rhythm—part mechanical mandala, part stalled motion—suggesting how human presence lingers most poignantly in the objects left waiting. The work holds a tension between utility and reverie, where the street’s abrasion becomes a patina of time and anonymity.
