This installation explores the boundary between private and public spaces. It features a large world map with small screens showing live streams from indoor spaces in locations across the globe. Connected by visible cables, the screens form a network that invites viewers to reflect on how watching and being watched shapes behavior.

This has effectively normalized a culture of observation that subtly alters how we act through the awareness that we are never fully alone.
