Motorbike

A dynamic sequence of colour photographs mounted on aluminium captures a figure interacting with a hand-drawn motorbike rendered directly onto a wall or pavement surface. Rhode's signature performative street art practice blurs the boundary between two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional action, as the body animates the static image across the 28-part series. The work explores themes of movement, desire, and the transformative power of imagination within urban environments.
