Everyone has unique dreams and wishes. Having such precious dreams in visual images can be helpful to stay positive. Sharing such unique thoughts through visual images also can be helpful to connect with others. Based on interviews, some of the dreams and perfect lives were captured in a square image. The question was “What is your paradise like?” Two interviewees answered. The first answer was “I want to make an octopus friend.”, and the second answer was “I want to be an oceanographer.”
This project was about combining two dreams in one image. The scale of the octopus resembles the fear of the unknown and the first-time experiences. However, the smiling and friendly-looking octopus is welcoming and even comforting the two characters gently approaching the oceanic new friend. The other character on the left is watching and capturing this unforgettable moment as an oceanographer. Above the ocean, their family is enjoying a relaxing time, and these are elements to add more warmth and a sense of safety and security. This is their cozy and safe playground in the ocean where they purely enjoy themselves.
