"Copper Connections" is a meditation on the intimacy and insecurity of connection in the digital age. We increasingly rely on remote technologies to bridge physical distances, our relationships become dependent on fragile interfaces that simultaneously connect and separate us.

The small scale of the piece demands close inspection, forcing the viewer to confront the fragility of the object. It challenges the "strength" of digital networks, which are often still dependent on aging copper wires.
