Public spaces for Presence.

Circles of Space facilitates stations for strangers to meet in silence, through the practice of eye-gazing.

Introduction

Circles of Space started in 2018 as a transformative project that invites individuals to pause, connect, and rediscover the humanity we share. At its heart is the timeless practice of eye-gazing, an intimate and wordless exchange that transcends barriers and brings us into the present moment. For over six years, Circles of Space has turned busy streets into sanctuaries of connection, where strangers come together to experience calm, vulnerability, and sometimes even profound emotions. By creating these moments of stillness in the chaos of daily life, the project reminds us of the beauty and depth of human connection.
