Dream

Beauty as Daily Necessity

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Dream is a quiet tribute to Toni Morrison’s insistence that beauty is an absolute necessity, not a luxury. Drawing from her idea that humans are born to find, incorporate, and represent beauty, this piece explores how beauty appears in ordinary rooms and passing glances as much as in grand, curated scenes. The work treats beauty as a kind of lived knowledge: something practiced through arrangement, attention, and care, rather than pursued as an indulgence. Viewers are invited to experience beauty as integral to breathing, resting, and imagining—something we cannot do without any more than we can do without dreams or oxygen.
