Defining Dreams (Installation)

“Not to spoil the ending for you, but hold on long enough and everything is going to be okay.” This sentence summarises the idea of my project. It will hang on the installation’s space and light up. This project explores the idea that dreams reveal unconscious desires and wishes. “They are red flags from your subconscious mind.” Dream catchers filters bad dreams and turns them into good dreams. I was inspired by this idea as I learnt through time that keeping a positive outlook no matter what the situation is changes one’s perspective and allows for solutions to filter though.

““I prefer to stay in my dream world, in which I can believe in anything I want to, without limits, without judgements, full of love and meaning.”

1) Interface

Dreamcatchers filter out bad dreams into good dreams. The filteration process can present the basic elements of life as everything goes back to it›s purity. Copper wires were wrapped around the loops. When a person touches the loops, pressure sensors were activated and it plays a video on the dome. Each loop plays a video that represents a medium of dream that filters out slowly in mood.

2) Narration

Dreams are defined as successions of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur usually involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. Yet, how much can we state dreams as an experience that is outside our conscious control. I don’t wear masks in my dream. They are painted with emotions. They are painted with memories. What we experience in dreams belongs in the end just as much to the over-all economy of our soul as anything experienced. They say if something is in your head it doesn’t exist. However, I feel my existence in this nonexistent place. It’s a place that brings forth someone else. Everything starts to surface. My emotions and my fears. The dream itself insists you look at whatever is trying to come into visibility. It’s the power of feeling and existence itself. It is just an idea. It is a physical existence in an unfamiliar physical world. Let me dream my dreams. Let me write my thoughts and paint my canvas. They are ideas that have been validated by the universe. Leave it to be in its purity. Ask me what I have felt and not what I have dreamt.

4) Atrium Experience

For this project, I wanted to create an enclosed space to represent my concept "You are your dreams, you create your medium." I got a metal structure and sewed it with 20 meters of black fabric, and 10 meters of white fabric inside, where the projection would be.
