Social Circles

This piece explores the unique dynamics and communication that arise from the inability to fully connect and understand each other. In our daily lives, we form various social circles through interactions with friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and family. With the prevalence of social media and online platforms, people can create even more diverse social circles and connect with individuals from all over the world. Through this artwork, the faint boundaries that emerge from individual communications and relationships are contemplated, with the hope of sparking thoughts about our future existence and how we interact with others.
