thank you

The internet has become deeply woven into modern life, yet the online world is still often portrayed as inferior to, or more dangerous than, the offline world. One day, I happened to meet a friend online. We cheered each other on and shared many joyful conversations. Since then, the online world has felt to me no different from the offline one, a place where people live their lives. Though it may appear cold and mechanical on the surface, it is also a space filled with warmth.

This work is a small gift for my friend, whose face and name I do not know. On the screen, a person sits in the rain. When a visitor places an umbrella over a wire figure in the physical world, another figure appears on the screen, holding an umbrella over the person in the digital world. Through this interaction, I wanted to say that the physical and digital worlds are closely intertwined, and that technology carries traces of human warmth.
