Writing about a space- The Cycle parking Area in Srishti

You see it as a space with cycles, which have been parked one after the other locked and still. 

There is a gradient of colors along the chain of cycles. The space looks like a terrain of cycles one after the other with different vibrant colors, rubbery tyres and seats. Some look new, some look old, some look worn out and some look fresh.

 Looking at the exterior of the cycle and the brand image it has we know the value and the cost of it. The chain of cycles is placed in such ways that if one falls the rest follow down one after the other like the dominos reaction. 

Each cycle has its own stories to narrate and each cycle’s existence differs from the other. 

Each cycle symbolizes a person’s independence. It gives him a sense of freedom and a burning desire for adventure and to venture the path less travelled.


This space is a metaphor for the very obvious human life in every generation. Humans meet, interact but they do show their own colors as time passes. 

Our society has been divided and there is a pyramid of hierarchy built where the people with the big bucks decide who is superior and who is inferior. We fail to realize that we all belong to one race, which is the human race, and humanity is lacking in our race. As one cycle falls in the chain of cycles the rest fall down too.   

The space gives the realization of the phrase “one falls, all fall”.
