In Transition XXXVIII

Acrylic colour on Canvas Artwork by Manish Sutaar

48 x 96 

This 4-fIt by 8-fIt canvas features two chairs, bus conductors, and bee-like figures that serve as metaphors for human behavior during travel. The composition draws from the familiar experience of boarding a bus and instinctively scanning the space for an empty seat. The bees, symbolic of people in motion, mirror our search for comfort and place in a shared environment. The surrounding colors and textures reflect the atmosphere of this moment—the visual chaos, ambient sounds, and emotional energy that often go unnoticed. Every element on the canvas captures the layered reality of public transit: the quiet tension, the unspoken observations, and the fleeting interactions that unfold in a confined space. The work becomes a sensory snapshot of human movement, instinct, and adaptation.
