Rise of Ego
-a psychological journey towards raison d’être

Via “the Social Recognition,” OBJECT_1’s existence is confirmed. OBJECT_1 has been a part of Society in a closed and absolute field where it is accepted that no one evolves their existence. When OBJECT_1 faces a crisis while engaged in her Society duty, she decides to venture out to find her own reason to live.

People engage in various duties creating the Society’s conditions and have specific purposes that others may never know. There are six lighting boards representing six elements of the Society. These elements are vanity, deception, pretext, collusion, precept and hypocrisy, and they interact with each other to control people’s behavior by order of the “Greater Will.”

Originally OBJECT_1 was produced as a Society practitioner through its accepted educational means. By the Social Recognition, she was summoned, and acknowledged as OBJECT_1 in that closed Society field. Her role was to take orders and perform duties expected by the mind of the Greater Will until the end of her life.

After being employed for quite some time as OBJECT_1, she accidentally encountered an error in the Society system. She began to feel contradiction in her given role, and as a result she tried to seek the basis of her existence. She began to suspect it could be found within the air. This behavior led her naturally to learn to pray skyward.

With the heavy burden and internal conflict of her existence, OBJECT_1 awakened. OBJECT_1 found a way to set her own objectives with her own hands and mind. An unexpected discrepancy in the Society’s system led her to see the world with her own eyes and without any implanted sense of values. She would find a vast open world beyond the Society’s spotlight.
