is there anybody out there?

In a room bathed in hues of blue and grey, a woman lies on the floor, her blue dress blending seamlessly with the cool tones of her surroundings. Her expression is blank, revealing a sense of detachment and isolation. This surreal scene symbolizes her displacement from a larger, formal gathering, seemingly unseen, as she lays right on the outskirts of the crowded room. The juxtaposition of the girl's solitude against the crowded feet evokes a poignant narrative of being cast away, a silent plea for connection in a world where she feels adrift. Depending on the viewer's life experiences, this piece is open-ended for interpretation to see the lighter as a symbol for an SOS, or rather, a beacon of hope. In either case, the color palette is purposely a monochromatic ensemble to instill a sense of calm and stillness.
