Scenes of Irony

Yashasvi Singh

Traffic cones / pylons / witch’s hat / road cones / highway cones / safety cones / construction cones / or a character.

Caution! A core has its own mood. 

The triptych depicts the sarcastic nature of traffic cones. It narrates how a cone has a confident, harmless and unseen character which can be contrasting to its context creating a confusion of its purpose. The picture establishes a thin line between sarcasm and caution while emphasizing the relevance of the visual foreground with background. The question that arose in my mind was do I really notice the traffic cone on my path first or the cap on the horse at that moment?

The landscape representation depicts the unseen reflection of the cone's function, where it lies hidden in the middle of a city and sky serving a different purpose to its context. It brings a conversation about being hidden in the middle of nowhere creating a polarity of its placement.

The third scene is an expression of the public's language to the city through the medium of cone where its uncertain position is giving a direct message to the society yet creating a more highlight of its original existence. 

I noticed how an uncertain position of cones from different perspectives can evolve into different meanings of conversation making it more noticeable.
