Safe Place


At the apex of pyramid comes to surveillance system. This is the time when every single thoughts and behaviors can be calculated and predicted, even improvisation. Has creation turned into a play of illusion?

Maya, the dancer, improvises her practice steps, which are successfully forecasted by the computer program based on her habits and previous dancing images. She tries to surprises the digital system in vain. The battlefield of fear and gloom overcomes her like a cowl. Is it her only option to stop dancing so as to escape from the quandary?
