Solipsism

Solipsism is the philosophical idea that only our own consciousness undoubtedly exists. The world and the others are fundamentally different and unreachable. With this series, I question the general mysterious relationship that a soul can have with something external. Are we condemned to a kind of egocentrism (individualism)? The bubbles in the series represent the barreer of our consciousness, which both separates and links a soul to the rest of the world. We experience and perceive everything through it, so much that all we can see may only be our own soul's reflections and projections.
