Free to Dream, 2025
Video installation
In this deeply personal work, the artist explores themes of childhood dreams, societal expectations, loss, and rediscovery of one’s self as a visual narrative in the form of a fairy tale. Drawing from her own life experiences, she metaphorically illustrates the journey from a child’s belief in limitless possibilities to societal constraints, and ultimately, a rebirth of dreams. It is both an intimate exploration of personal history and a universal story about the human spirit’s resilience. In experiencing the work, the artist invites viewers to reflect on their own dreams and the societal influences that shape them.
