Paper Dreams

Parc Fluvial del Riu BesòIf we talk about something we all share, perhaps one of the things we tend to leave until last is that we all dream, in one way or another. Dreams have always played a relevant role in our lives and yet we are still far from fully understanding their true nature. To dream is to create in its purest state, and paper has long been the medium that has enabled great dreamers to bring their ideas to life. To dream is to fly, and to fly is to experience the world from another perspective. The mural reflects these thoughts; the figure of the paper bird not only represents the act of flying, it condenses multiple readings: creation, imagination, the versatility of the material (fragile or resistant depending on the shape it is given) and, of course, the surrounding fauna where the work takes place. This mural is an invitation to reflect on this, and on what happens within our own dreams, and how we might learn from them.s, Santa Coloma side – BesArt Mur East 008
