Student Narrative
Everyone has some dreams to some extent. Children speak freely, discussing their dreams. These dreams roam in an ocean built by childhood innocence, a space that allows dreams to survive. But most of these dreams are caught by the massive net of reality during the growth process, like sardines being canned, at the mercy of others. They die on the conveyor belt of economics and interests, gradually losing their bright colors, rotting, disappearing, as if they were utterly insignificant. This project is a monument to some dreams. How they form, and how they end.
