In this work, the restless movement of an ant colony is transformed into a reflection on attention, influence, and repetition in online culture. The piece begins with her discovery of a colony nestled inside a brick, which she carefully documented, capturing the uncontrollable chaos of countless small decisions. From these raw images, a single ant was digitally isolated and reproduced, forming a looping labyrinth.
The video manipulation evokes how a single action, message, or idea on social media can be amplified infinitely until it becomes a trend, with followers mindlessly circling each other in endless repetition. What begins as a spontaneous, natural movement is meticulously reorganized, mirroring the way online media and propaganda manipulate chaos into persuasive narratives.
This work invites viewers to reflect on cycles of imitation and the consequences of collective attention, as well as the tension between autonomy and conformity in natural and human systems.
