For my interstellar message project I would like to lean into the idea of human connection. I think this idea can be paradoxical because although human nature is to join together and build relationships, it also tends to be “human nature” to fight with and disclude others. I also believe that when it comes to this topic, it is something that everyone has personally experienced. Whether that be making friends and having a close family, or the other side of the spectrum: being left out and feeling lonely. This topic is both a strong element of human existence and also a topic that can connect well with any audience.
