An art project about presence, impermanence, and the space between strangers. What happens: You draw on a shared global canvas. Every stroke fades. When your light crosses someone else's, your phones vibrate. That's it. What doesn't happen: No feeds. No messages. No followers. This isn't social media. It's something quieter. A quiet place to exist together.
