Retrospective Dream
"Anadromism is the retracing of dreams."
Anadromism is the retracing of dreams. Many dreams are accompanied by strong emotional content, and the relationship between dreams and emotions has been widely concerned and studied. In dreams, we may be able to recognize and recognize the individual’s most authentic emotions, without covering up, without embellishing.
This exhibition takes dreams as the carrier, and constructs an alien space paradise isolated from the outside world in the meta-universe Cryptovoxels platform. Here, the audience can explore the emotional function and emotional value of the virtual world, and heal the body and mind here.
