Flat Lands

“Flat Lands” reflects the chaos, hierarchy, and endless loops of corporate life. Inspired by Edwin A. Abbott’s allegorical novel Flatland, the work portrays an office environment as a two-dimensional maze of panic, misunderstanding, and chain reactions. In this universe, no one truly knows the answers, yet everyone pretends that someone else does—fueling a cycle of dysfunction.

The piece visualizes this pressured system as both flat and rigid, yet endlessly recursive, capturing the paradox of a world that appears structured but is in fact unstable. It asks viewers to confront the absurdity of bureaucratic systems, where hierarchy and conformity mask uncertainty, and where the individual is swept into a frenzied loop without escape.
