Fragments of a Collective Dream

Fragments of a Collective Dream, an interactive installation, embodies the process by which we, like children, learn to weave the tapestry of social reality—through the act of play. At its core, this work fuses playfulness with the recognition that our existence unfolds in a shared space, where individuality intertwines with collective life. It draws attention to the recurrent, predictable patterns of our everyday engagements—encompassing actions, objects, participants, and language—as foundations of a shared yet deeply personal world.

In this space, the installation invites reflection on our subjective values, as well as the invisible boundaries we draw around inclusion and exclusion. Here, it explores the fluid nature of these limits, as they emerge in the spaces we inhabit today—both within ourselves and with those around us. In doing so, the project asks: How do we construct the places we call home, both in solitude and together?
