COLLECTIVE DAY DREAM

“This installation provides a fun way to co-create in the time of the pandemic. We have been sitting alone, daydreaming, staring at the walls around us. Ragusila wove together viewers daydreams and created a canvas of shared imagination on the walls around her. Overall it will show how we can still collaborate and create beauty together.”
