In the "Social Trap" installation, we see a transparent inflatable ball that shows our daily deepening isolation from the outside world who is deluded that we can cross the whole world without obstacles and worries. We are prompted to enter by the illuminated inscription "calling for help" inside the smartphone. However, this is just a trap that invites us to its place at every step, in which any movement is limited and from which it is very difficult to get out.
