Dream Stations speaks to the facade of societal structures we’re presented with throughout our lives—the classroom, the office, the illusion of an American Dream. From a distance, they look inviting—offering the promise of safety, comfort, even purpose. But once you enter, you get caught in the machinery and mouths that chew you up and spit you out, shaped into something uniform and indistinguishable from the rest.

I’ve come to realize the importance of moving through the Dream Stations, rather than getting stuck in them. Part of the journey is losing yourself—but also finding your way back, piece by piece, to the person you were before the Dream Stations consumed you.
