Artist Statement:
“Dream-nado” is a piece of art that symbolizes the whirlwind of aspirations and the turbulent journey of dreams and aspirations. This artwork models the dreams of becoming an Actor, Doctor, and Author, all caught in a swirling storm. Scattered across the ground are broken book pages, ink splatters, a stethoscope, a syringe, and film tape, each representing the fragmented remnants of these dreams. The chaotic motion and dispersed elements show the struggle and determination required to chase one’s aspirations, reflecting the stormy yet exhilarating path of pursuing your’s passions.
