Hallucination. Fantasy. Fear.

​

I have tried to escape from a space that is surrounded by these things ever since I can remember. What should I do if I am afraid to get out of a childhood nightmare that I cannot stop imagining?

 

I have been influenced by a repeated nightmare for a while, so that I am able to see and touch some of the creatures who do not exist in the reality. To overcome my fear and create the hidden monsters in my fantasy, I try to find a way that transforms the fear of my nightmare into happiness.

​

In making the handcrafted dollhouse and exploring the emotions from the memories of my dreams, I become fearless, I am able to talk with the monsters in my nightmare. Using dolls as an established practice in therapeutic work with children, this project describes an adventure between imagination and reality, it represents the process of reaching a settlement with fear.

​

My work can be considered as a gift to myself many years later, it also offers a creative way to encourage others to change a series of negative points about childhood trauma.
