CIRCLE AROUND
2019, Custom software, computer, screen
This work comments on the differences we all have as human beings. It is not always welcomed to be unlike in society; on the contrary, we all have different traits we are born with, that will help the society to be diverse, covered in all aspects. Every person has a unique place in society that can't be substituted. At the same time, we all share the same human values, feelings, and suffering. We are all different, yet we are all the same.
Our differences are represented by different colors and directions of lines, while the common humanity is reflected at the intersection. Each line is placed at a unique angle, making them visible to the viewer, and each one equally contributes to the overall visual. As more lines are formed, the variety among them reveals the beauty of the whole.
When we come together while preserving our uniqueness, there is wholeness in the universe.
NO NEED TO RUSH

In today's world high speed is more appreciated than low speed. We want everything faster: fast trains, boats, internet connection, and even food. These are all reasonable since they enhance our lives, and provide more time for the things that matter to us. However, when this mindset is applied to people's behavior, it becomes a problem.
Each person's own rhythm is part of their authenticity, and no one's pace is more precious than another's. Each one has a unique place in society.
In this work, the fast circles reach the end more quickly, while the slowness of the remaining circles allows us to follow and enjoy the process for a longer period. If we are ultimately going to arrive at the same destination, does it really matter how fast or slow we get there? Can slowness be valued?
DARKNESS TO LIGHT

Each individual, with their uniqueness, has a distinct place in society, and no one holds greater value than another. Unity among individuals, while remaining true to their authentic selves, benefits all. The unity of such authentic beings might even guide us from darkness to light.
In the video, circles of diverse colors with high transparency unite, transforming darkness into light. The colors and positions of the circles are generated randomly. The viewer is invited to observe how these circles, as they come together, disperse the darkness and bring forth light. In many Eastern philosophical and religious traditions, darkness is associated with suffering, while white or light represents the end of suffering, in other words, enlightenment. Can we reach the light by embracing our authenticity within unity?
