"I am a Dreamer" is a project inspired by a metaphor of life, a metaphor of growth, watching the world with the eyes of a kids contemplating the nature and contemplating the future. The desire of play whit dreams . The kids contemplate the world with the eyes of fantasy imagining characters and identifying in them as they do with life, so a balloon turns into a person and is ready to fly, as society impose to grow with the brain in box, or forces us to wear masks, express fears and dreams of growing and discovering the world through personal and creative experience with sense of humor and playful, yet surreal and also with inspiration to fairy tales.
