Abstract
Bridge is an installation that immerses the viewer into a hyper-colored separate reality that acts as a transformative safe haven. This bridge is the transition from the real world to surreal dreamscapes. It acts as a self-portrait, showing a young woman as she gazes in the mirror just wishing life was different, hoping to be transported to a world rid of responsibility, hatred, and judgment. The imagination is extremely compelling and can take over the mind and autopilot for a while, this is why elements of these imaginative landscapes or worlds can sometimes creep into reality in the form of daydreams.
