Where light and darkness play across the canvas, mirrors our modern engagement with digital screens—devices that illuminate our faces in the dark, connecting us to a vast, unseen network. This juxtaposition highlights the dual nature of technology: a tool for connection that also magnifies our solitude. Frightening and peaceful depending on your own mood.
