Exit Vectors: Circle Of Others

Prompt: A circle of bodies performing a ritual dance, their shadows forming a different pattern than their bodies, limbs elongated and multiplied. Creative Process: There was something deeply unsettling about arranging these figures in a perfect circle. as they cast their shadows across the barren ground, i kept thinking about ancient rituals where people would gather to summon or banish entities they couldn't comprehend. the shadows stretched longer than they should have, defying the laws of perspective, reaching toward something in the middle that refused to manifest. The composition emerged from memories of seeing protest movements form human chains, mixed with readings about jung's concept of mandalas as symbols of the self. but i twisted it, made it more sinister - these figures weren't protecting anything, they were containing an absence. their synchronized stance suggested both unity and imprisonment, like cosmic prison guards keeping nothing itself locked away..
