Human relations is a topic that has fascinated me since I read that various studies carried out in the first half of the 20th century showed that a large number of orphaned babies who were raised without human contact, they were only fed, died, and those who did not die were much more prone to disease and psychological problems. This led me to reflect on the topic, concluding that interpersonal relationships are essential for human life, and this reflection has inspired me to carry out this project.

Starting from simple elements such as points, lines and circles, I have built this abstract generative artwork that tries to symbolize the human personality and how the relationships we have affect us and shape our personality, the result is a wide variety of interactive compositions that are very interesting visually, even sometimes hypnotic. The personality of each person and their social “circles” take a few seconds to fully form, while this is happening you can stop the representation and continue whenever you want.

I leave the interpretation of each collection elements in the hands of the viewer and invite them to reflect on their own interpersonal relationships. For a better experience I recommend observing the artwork from 2 or 3 meters away.
