ENTROPIC DAYDREAM
Entropy is the tendency to change from a state of order to a state of disorder. A daydream is a conscious escape. Entropic Daydream is a collection of work that shares a common tension between chaos and idealism. Symbols found in nature, literature, and my own personal life act as a visual language to convey a more complex narrative. This narrative includes themes of mental health, spirituality, separation, intimacy, and the passage of time.
To take one step
to change
in search
of a dream
is to free fall
To take one step
through time, through space
through humid green tree tunnels
rainy windows
golden sun
dreams with blue boxes
orange roads
bed sheets
is to trust fall
Is to trust fall
