The Wheels Go Round and Round invites the viewer on a contemplative journey through the intertwined processes of movement, survival, and transformation. Through layered imagery and sound editing, the work draws a poetic parallel between the microcosm of living cells in constant motion and the macrocosm of human transportation systems circulating through urban and rural landscapes. The video is intended to be displayed on loop which reveals the repetitive cycle of movement.

Just as cells migrate, divide, and transform to sustain the body, humans are propelled by necessity and desire to seek opportunity, to connect with others, to reinvent themselves. The act of traveling becomes both a metaphor and a material reality of survival and adaptation.

Integral to the work is the song The Wheels Go Round and Round, which serves as a reference point for the repetitive cycles of movement in contemporary society. Its cyclical melody echoes the visual motifs of constant motion and recurrence, reinforcing the idea that movement is not merely an action but a fundamental condition of life itself.
