Undeniably, the advent of social media and the increased relevance of the internet have made us more connected to each other. We now live in a world where you could hypothetically communicate with any living person at any time. It is precisely this tangled web of relations and information that this piece represents. Ideas are transmitted from one person to another at lightspeed but those ideas are almost never true representations of another’s true feelings but instead our interpretations of them. Light and energy have taken us to a point of extreme connection but also the age of loneliness. No invention can deny that although we can see the gleaming lights of other people’s lives brighter than ever in the end, we are stuck in a never-ending dance until the lights inevitably go out.
