It's a narrative about dreams to which we become so strongly attached that we fail to notice how we ourselves change and outgrow those dreams. A distorted desire twists the dream, turning it into an abstract version that often loses everything the original dream held within itself.
A collage of robot vacuum cleaners attempting to fill what is inside us but rolling outside. Speaking to us but not saying anything. The artwork becomes an abstract whole of what we no longer are, what we have long been supposed to let go of and leave behind for our past selves. "Medea Dream 1.0" is a monument reminding us not to lose ourselves now. Releasing who you were and who you will no longer become.
How to overcome the world's endings that happen inside, to survive what happens outside?
