Life Wheel 12 (Urban Reflection)

This work turns the automobile into a polished frame for urban memory, where the immaculate curve of a red fender and the stark geometry of a whitewall tire compress the world into a single, concentrated emblem. At the wheel’s center, a miniature city scene flickers like a lens or portal—suggesting that speed, desire, and modern life are less experienced directly than reflected, mediated, and endlessly looped through surfaces. The taut cropping and high-gloss color discipline create a poised tension between freedom and containment: the road promised by the car is present only as an image trapped inside its own circular boundary.
