(excerpt from dream journal)
Entry 15

I am at a carnival,
Jingling of little bells fill the air,
It gets louder and louder,
I find myself cornered by the Mystery Inc. gang.
Except
More people dressed as Velma and Daphne appear.
I am surrounded by Velmas and Daphnes.
They keep asking me if I am a Velma or a Daphne.
I say: “I’m just Iva.”

InBetween

Handmade pillows and bed covers adorned with lace, soaked with the sweet scent of lavender. InBetween is an installation exploring dreams as a way into the subconscious. Every person has the ability to dream, whether they are nocturnal or diurnal dreams, it is my favourite aspect about being human. I feel strongly that dreams are a form of healing and connection, it exercises our capacity for empathy and compassion. My dreams are extremely sacred to me, but I believe that to form connections with one another, one or both people must be willing to put their heart and soul in front of them. So here I am, and here are my dreams. May we embrace our vulnerabilities together.
