Familiar Yet Far
Danting Li’s artwork “Familiar Yet Far” has been selected for Circles, Squares, Triangles 2025, the 2nd annual international smart online art exhibition by Exhibizone, running from February 19 to April 19, 2025, at https://www.exhibizone.com/cst2025, attracting over 30,000 unique visitors. “Familiar Yet Far” stood out among numerous submissions, receiving 58 votes and ranking 20th out of 138 selected artworks. This piece, depicting a perspective of Earth and the universe from the Moon, has played a key role in reviving the pixel art aesthetic with its distinctively retro visual style.
Rendered in pixel art, “Familiar Yet Far” features deep blue pixels forming mountain ranges, varying transparencies of light blue pixels creating a flickering starry sky, and blue, white, yellow, and green pixels composing Earth. Pixel art, with its nostalgic charm, distills cosmic landscapes into simplified forms, conveying rich emotions and imagery with limited colors and shapes. The artwork reflects a universal sentiment—how minuscule humanity is within the vast cosmos. Observing Earth from the Moon, it almost feels as though humanity itself fades into the distance. This realization, rather than being daunting, offers a sense of liberation. “Familiar Yet Far” prompts viewers to refocus on what truly matters, embracing the fleeting moments that define the human experience.
