While the world was grasping at a new normal in the wake of economic and social unrest that began a year and a half prior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo close one's eyes and drift into a dream is perhaps one of the oldest evolutionary responses to waking life on this planet. It is in this dream-scape, that relationships to people, places, and things can become shuffled and new possibilities emerge that are able to be applied to waking life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis body of work is an ode to new possibilities, to new ways of looking at the world while remembering and honoring where we have been.
