Strands of Solitude
2023
Strands of Solitude reflects on the paradox of connection and isolation in today’s digital world. In this series of intricate digital compositions, William Mapan explores how technology and social media have reshaped our relationships—bringing us closer while also creating new forms of disconnection.
Through careful control of saturation, density, negative space, and flow, William conveys the tension between presence and absence. While the works evoke a sense of distance and fragmentation, they also offer a reminder of our shared experience. Mapan invites viewers to recognize the quiet threads that still bind us together.
