“Humanity 007”
What are we all pursuing for and what is the meaning of it all?
Better grades ? Better academic degrees? Better jobs? Better income ? Better property ? Better work life balance ? Better mental health? - the list ultimately end in meaningless abstractions.

The piece reflects on an absurd self-contraction. The distorted and smudged female face projects the struggle of finding her own place in the buzzing modern world. An ethic turmoil of complying social formality. She attmpts to keep up with fast paced environment without knowing what she is racing after, who is she trying to impress and why she is pretending everything is perfect.
