During the past year, we were all disconnected in so many ways from
those important to us. For many of us, even though our relationships
became virtual as we connected through social media and communication
platforms we are able to hide behind our avatars and criticize in a way
we never would face to face. As we connect more and more through
anonymity, we move further and further apart from each other finding it
harder to understand and empathize. Travellore reflects on how even as
our world has grown smaller through technology and innovation, we still
sometimes find it hard to find each other and a common ground.

skull is engraved in delft blue and white with a misconstrued and

conflicting symbol, the flat earth map and the moon. The skull sits in a
golden metal mount in reference to a globe.
