This piece explores another aspect of the viewer's relationship to the work, which is a mystery. The work explores the relationship that strangers have with one another. There is no way to understand these strangers' stories and it is harder to empathize with them. The piece juxtaposes with the other pieces in the show because it has an absence of feeling. This relationship is similar to that of the artist and viewer in many ways, as only a visual aspect is shown to the viewer.
