The project questions the human behavior towards this development and the speed of circulated amount of information and news via satellites, the Internet and social media, and on the other hand, it looks at the relationship of different educational frameworks, whether (un)formal education or others with this change as a source of knowledge.

The project acts as a reflection of the feeling of being stuck and overwhelmed with stress, tons of information, and massive input we are being exposed to nowadays, which leads to disconnection, Isolation, and the desire to disappear.
