"Wheels" captures the poetic simplicity of a classic bicycle through bold composition and atmospheric light. The distinctive red frame is depicted in partial view, creating dynamic tension as it rests against an ambient golden background, while its shadow creates a complex secondary narrative of overlapping circles and lines. The interplay between physical object and ephemeral shadow transforms this everyday vehicle into a meditation on form and function.
