DREAMS

Nigga, you's a window shopper
Mad at me, I think I know why
Nigga, you's a window shopper
In the jewelery store, lookin' at shit you can't buy
Nigga, you's a window shopper
In the dealership, tryin' to get a test drive
Nigga, you's a window shopper
Mad as fuck when you see me ride by

50 CENT - Window Shopper

The project combines several sentiments.
Unfulfilled dreams and disappointment with some of them, but also the fact that they are supposedly within reach, for only "0 PLN".

The neon sign refers to discounts and shop windows, depicting "dreams" on par with other products. At the same time, thanks to its illumination and the golden surrounding, it creates a specific aura of piety and significance.

The golden thermal blanket has simple associations like wealth but also care, concern and exclusion, the specter of human tragedy.

These and other elements, perhaps not yet deciphered even by the author of the work, come together in an art gallery closed for the summer, a place where the dreams of some artists come true, and where the dreams of others come crashing down.

Ultimately, however, the warmth emanating from the golden window and the neon light illuminating a sleepy summer evening, leave us with more hope than sadness.
