Humans, including myself, live in relationships with each other. The concerns that began with myself led to concerns about relationships with others. Even if I want to be alone, I can't be alone and I'm always with someone. It refers to feelings of emptiness and anxiety arising from individual and individual relationships between individuals and groups.
The human shape of the black dot represents me, you, or us. The mask used to live and the numerous faces created to avoid being caught are in the "black dot." The emptiness that comes from relationships with others and the collapse of expectations.
