In the interactive labyrinth game, the viewer can find illustrations of locations printed with red offset paint. The base is a reflective surface, mirroring its environment, the society which we are part of. Two different sized circles are within the frame. These, along with the outer square possess a symbolic importance which oppose each other, as the circles represent limitlessness, while the square represents boundaries. This dichotomy carries within itself the union of the spiritual and physical being. The tiny, turquoise balls represent all the people surrounding us, the society itself. The game 

depicts the mechanisms of relationship systems and the elements of our connection to society.

The locations in the outer ring are connected to our superficial, immature relationships, while the inner ring focuses on the areas of more profound connections. Intimacy is playing a major role in these places. The center of the second ring represents the human soul without actually showing it, for its existence is subjective and puzzling. The paths through the labyrinth mark where the inner and outer rings can be traversed, as well as all the dead ends we can come to while building our relationships. There is a way out of these pitfalls, but contrary to the general motif of the labyrinth, it is impossible to leave the game, just like it is impossible to remove ourselves from our network of relationships.
