Rachel told Bored Panda a bit more in detail about the overall culture of taxis in Mumbai.
"Mumbai has 55,000 black-and-yellow taxis. And they're a fairly inexpensive way of getting around. I was headed to work on a warm April day in one taxi in 2017 and looked up inside the cab. My taxi had a ceiling with a chocolate brown background and strawberries in unnatural colors like purple, green, and blue. It was ghastly. I loved it immediately and took a shot for fun, maybe see how many designs I could find. I have shot 500 designs so far and still, there are so many taxis yet to take and designs to discover.
I'm inspired by the idea that Mumbai (and any city) is full of stories and surprises if you only care to look. There's always something colorful or hilarious in a forgotten corner that could be overhead and that makes you look twice. That's my fuel for seeking out more."
