This is a fine example of Post-Industrial Neoimpressionist Art. Godlike man and his safe sanctuary represented by the silver center of the circle. Man, the center of the universe. Man, the creator of his machines. Man, being carried along to his destination by the whirling strong spokes encircling him. Man, safe from the darker circle of outside forces… or is he?

Maybe the artist is portraying man trapped in the silver circle by forces he has created. The very machine man has created has grown and now traps him. Note the artist’s not so subtle use of phallic like spokes approaching the man, radial like spears from the great unknown. Are these conduits of external forces to the man or are they simply threats by the machine to hold the man in his place? In any case, these phallic like spokes are facing toward the man and the man has no control over them and what forces they will unleash.
