I use scale incongruity to compare wheel sizes and thereby tell the story of a childhood dream. This child, pretending to drive a motorized scooter, seems completely absorbed in his own fantasies here. He does not notice that the small wheel of the scooter is incongruously placed adjacent to a massive truck wheel in the background. However I stress this linkage – the small wheel is sharply defined by morning light, while the massive truck wheel looms in the background shadows. I shifted my vantage point to place these wheels just inches apart. Both of these vehicles are blue, linking big with small, and making the dreams of childhood seemingly come to life.
