I created this piece with the idea of planetary orbits in mind. More specifically how it is very easy for stellar bodies to orbit each other but very difficult for them to actually touch, a metaphor for isolation I chose an art project to represent isolation in Depression Quest as it is a very difficult concept to accurately explain in words. Karuna Nair explains that “audio-visual media can express emotional subtleties that are difficult to express in words and create higher recognition and relevance for people accustomed to postmodern media forms” Nair et al., a concept that I wanted to use by letting the viewer apply their own thinking and experiences to an art piece. Overall, “Orbit” was designed to represent isolation, mental health, and the relationship between the two.
