.Nightmare
This project is about nightmares and how they can effect the way we are as humans.
I’ve always had a lot of nightmares, I rarely had ‘normal’ dreams. The people I love and cared for constantly died in my dreams. I knew it wasn’t real, but it still left me with certain fears.
From a very young age I felt like I had experienced terrible things like being buried alive.
But this project isn’t really about all the negatives. It’s about the fact that I’m happy now. I feel like the nightmares I had and still have give more meaning to life.
I have the idea that nightmares were originally meant to give people the experience of a threat without actually being in danger. I see it now as something important.
Hands around a doll
By grasping a doll with both my hands I instill the feeling of being trapped by something out of your control. I have become the fear I once felt. Were my dreams completely taken over or have they escaped the grasp?

The threads entangle a sleeping person.
The nightmares take over the body.
