Project Description

Individual Level (Emotional) "Missing the Sun" symbolizes the warmth and companionship of daytime; "Stars" symbolize the tranquility and self-reflection of nighttime. Loneliness is viewed as "a missed connection," yet it can also foster new ways of perceiving. The work conveys that "loneliness is not a void, but rather a magnified form of time and space." Social Level (Sociocultural) The fast pace, digital dependence, and urban isolation of modern society lead to constant "micro-misses" between people: people who pass by, messages that go unanswered, invitations left unsent due to social anxiety. Data can reveal the gap between the potential for connection and the frequency of missed connections. Philosophical Level (Existential / Poetic) "If you shed tears when you miss the sun..." implies that excessive fixation on loss prevents us from seeing the "stars" that still twinkle in the present moment.
