Dream

3D-Printed Sculpture

Once, Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering about, happy with himself and doing as he pleased.
He didn't know that he was Zhuang Zhou. 
Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Zhuang Zhou.
​But he didn't know if he was Zhuang Zhou who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming that he was Zhuang Zhou.

My sleeping posture was captured through a combination of motion techniques, then translated into a 3D sculpture. This absent body leaves behind the imprint of my nocturnal gestures: an empty shell, inhabited only by the habit of sleep.  Can we awaken from this dream we call reality?
