This piece insists on a brevity and a near-nonchalance haphazardness to prod at the potential hidden portals within our subconsciousness. I drafted the visual first, then composed the sound piece, creating all works from my body (both vocalizations and image). An ode to the interlude, Vivid Dreams Only Happen in Rapid Eye Movement Sleep (VDOHREMS), challenges and embraces traditions to deconstruct habitual tendencies and embedded biases; using human breath to protest the transient digital wasteful landscapes in hopes to pause, reconsider and reflect a concurrent sinking in and breathing out towards a collective reprieve.
