Story

The “transition of wheels” is a selection of works that shows how vehicles have changed over the past 40 years. These imageries have been put together to create a photo story that illustrates the process of a major transformation. We can see how transportation vehicles that are closely tied to people’s everyday lives, and the three types of driving wheels (bicycles, motorbikes, and cars) have changed through the captured moments in different periods of the past. This work brilliantly depicts how society has developed and the massive progresses that have been made in daily life.

Comment

From the first bicycle owned in 1982 to the car in 2018, vehicle has been constantly developing and has shown drastic changes over the past 30 years. With the improvement in the quality of life, we also have more choices. This photo story "The Transition of Wheels" tells us, through the change from 2 -wheel vehicles to 4 -wheel vehicles over the past 30 years, that the fate of the individual is closely linked to the destiny of the times, and that people cannot live a wealthy and happy life without social progress.
