In Milo's words

My oldest online friends and I have spent hundreds of nights in the same call from four different places. I wanted to paint how those nights felt rather than how they technically looked: separate rooms held together by one shared line.

Each window is private, but none is isolated. The illuminated paths are not literal cables; they are the feeling of a conversation continuing across distance until a scattered group becomes its own kind of neighborhood.

I constructed the vertical city first, then placed four warm interior spaces around its darker center. Fine luminous lines connect the rooms without closing the distance between them, keeping the piece distinctly digital and spatial.
