It becomes a metaphor for Journey, Life, Awakening, Realization .Like an opera, the painting unfolds the rhythm of the journey-of life through visual expression, discovering and revealing through forms in space. Visually one can observe the shapes on the vehicle adjusting to maintain balance and harmony, owing to the movement of the vehicle. It is the manifestation of a moment, when simultaneously many things are happening on the canvas space. People travelling in the vehicle are in various states of meditative moorings-trancelike yet aware of the journey of life taking place. Journey is transformed into a joyous celebration of life, in spite of it sups and downs, pleasure and pain, the muted happy tones reciprocating the same .The wheels in movement depict the flow of life and the journey taking place. The central figure, between the wheels, singing and performing-a mystical persona, a Dervish revealing the mysteries of creation. The figures in the vehicle looking down at the red sea of material world passing by as the journey progresses. The yellow and red space depicting the world, transitory and dreamlike.
