Wheels of Dhaka – 05

Dhaka’s streets pulse with an unrelenting flow of traffic, where buses, cars, rickshaws, and motorcycles are crammed into every available inch of road. The composition mirrors the overwhelming density of the city’s traffic, each element packed tightly into the frame, creating a sense of movement and disorder. Layers of overlapping lines and colours evoke the sound of honking horns and the constant rush of urban life. The varied shapes and sizes of the vehicles, from the iconic rickshaw to towering buses, reflect the city’s diversity and constant state of motion. Rickshaws weave between larger vehicles, while buses push through the sea of commuters with imposing force. The painting encapsulates Dhaka’s transportation struggles, captures the vibrancy and chaos of a city that never slows down, where the constant hum of engines and the clang of metal define the urban experience.
