Circle of Alleviation captures the tension before a social media post fully loads—the moment of anticipation before the endorphin rush of digital gratification. Each image is a screenshot of an Instagram photo in the process of loading, marked by a white circle at its center, symbolizing the pause and delay inherent in the online experience.

This work explores the space between expectation and fulfillment, highlighting the fleeting yet intense moments that define our digital rituals. Through these unfinished images, I invite reflection on the anticipation, suspense, and satisfaction that shape our engagement with social media.
