Inspired by the notion that our beds are a place where we can be closest to ourselves, this piece was created through exploring a variety of human experiences, in bed. In the very same place, a person can be at their most vulnerable, their most comfortable as well as most in danger.
… reveal hidden rules, and hidden parts of the self…
“If you dream about your wife with an axe, it means your wife is a witch”
“If you dream about a wedding it means death”
“Your ancestors and other relatives can visit you there”
“I was swimming towards my grandmother, trying to reach her, but the water was pulling me backwards”
