Graduation project
“Each night, as the world fades into slumber, I find myself immersed in a white haze, entering the realm of my subconscious mind, the world of my dreams. Upon awakening, the white haze slowly dissipates as my dreams transform into memories. But what occurs when fragments of the dream materialise, pulled into tangibility, drawn into reality? Colours begin to intensify, and lines become more defined.”
This process is highly similar to Mariko’s design process. Initially, her designs start as vague and unclear ideas, comparable with the white haze in her dreams. However, through visualisation, her designs gain clarity and definition.
In this installation, she demonstrated how this process unfolds by visualising one of her dreams and crafting the white haze. From the exterior, you can observe the white haze enveloping the dream, with muted colours. However, as you step into the space, the true nature of the installation becomes more apparent.
As a part of the installation there is an audio. Here Mariko goes more in dept about the similarities between dreams and design.
