Red string theory, originating in East Asian folklore, details the idea that you are connected to your soulmate via an invisible red string, connected to your hand, that will never break, snap, or detatch throughout your life. The string may tangle or stretch, but you’ll be connected to that person forever, no matter when it is that you end up meeting.

What if - now that we’re in the modern age, and have more interactions with others than ever before - we were connected to everyone we’ve ever encountered, however briefly?

Through photography of brtualist apartment blocks in Tokyo, Japan and illustration of ethereal figures, this piece explores the idea that maybe we’re all more connected than we believe, whether to your neighbours, friends, or even a cat you pass in the corridor on your morning commute.
