Signal Decay is about the failure of connection. The figures in the image are present but dissolving - there, but not really reaching each other. The glitch isn't just visual noise; it's the breakdown that happens when people interact without actually connecting.

Most interactions feel hollow. People ask questions they don't want answers to. They listen to respond, not to understand. Conversations become performances - gestures made for appearance rather than genuine exchange. Everyone's focused on what they can extract, how they can advance, what serves their agenda. Different gets dismissed instead of considered. There's no time to sit with an idea, to let it unfold - everything's a rush. If it doesn't catch attention immediately, it's lost. Perspectives that don't align with their own are wrong by default, not worth the effort of understanding.

The decay isn't dramatic. It's gradual, ambient—the slow realization that the signal between people is corrupted. We're all standing in the same space, but we're not really there together.

This piece reflects that fragmentation. The erosion of presence. The distance that opens up when no one's really listening.
