Transcending Dreams: A Surreal Exploration of Reality and Belief
This video art project delves into the intriguing intersection of dreams and reality through a portrait of an elderly woman, a street market seller, whose very presence evokes an ethereal connection to the revered Virgen de Guadeloupe. It unravels the rich tapestry of Mexico's visual religious culture, illuminating the profound quest for meaning that permeates every corner.

In a surrealistic exploration of religion and the act of infusing significance into everyday objects, the protagonist holds a fervent belief that dreams can materialise through these visual relics, which she offers for purchase in local markets.

Through this journey, I invite viewers to ponder the profound question: How do dreams merge with reality, and can we truly bring them to life through the tangible touch points that bridge our existence and the mystical realms of our imagination?
