"Metaichmion" is a performance art that is about a birthday party where no one came and can be seen as a symbol of the development and evolution of individuals. Like the
empty room, we all start out alone, with no one to support us or share our experiences. But as we move through life, we make connections and build relationships that shape us and help us grow. The empty room can also be seen as a blank slate, an opportunity to start over and create something new. As you go, remember that even when it feels like no one is there, you are never truly alone. And just like a birthday party, life is full of surprises and unexpected guests that can change everything in an instant.
