Introduction

“Circles of Space” is an ongoing public exhibition that started on Vancouver Island, Canada, in 2018, taking place on busy streets and other places. Inspired by great forerunners such as Marina Abramović (The Artist is Present, 2010) and various social projects and contemplative practices, silence is invited into human relations as a way to connect beyond ideas, concepts, and stories. Truly seeing each other and being seen can nurture our spirit and help remind us of - even celebrate; our nature as human beings.

"It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tired into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one destiny, affects all indirectly." ---Martin Luther King #c
"We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects." ---Herman Melville #circlesofspace #seea
