Bathroom of Dreams



Step into the surreal realm of "Bathroom of Dreams," where the ordinary transcends into a dreamscape, revealing profound truths through the dance of symbols. Initially, a top-down view portrays a standard bathroom – sink, window, and fixtures.

Yet, a subtle rotation transforms the mundane into a surreal narrative. The sink evolves into a figure's head, adorned with a towel-turned-hat. Toilet and shower form the torso, grounding the person on a shifting floor. Their gaze locks onto a demon beyond the window, embodying temptation and inner turmoil. Behind a fence, the demon symbolizes unseen battles, the delicate dance between succumbing to darkness and resisting the allure of the unknown.

The figure, paralyzed by fear, gazes at the world from their comfort zone. Despite an open door and a heavenly hand offering support, they linger, ensnared in hesitations. In the corner, the devil waits patiently, ready to lead them into a spiral of despair.

As the person stares at the demon behind the window, curiosity looms. He knows it's bad to open "Pandora's Unwinding Box," yet tempting whispers suggest that within, he will find the strength to step into the world he desires. The lies told by the devil intertwine with the desire for liberation, creating a tumultuous inner conflict. In moments of being lost and afraid, discerning the speaker becomes a challenge – is it the voice of God guiding him or the deceitful whispers of the devil?

The uncertainty arises, for within that box lies turmoil, loss of mind, stress, depression, and addiction – the shadows that emerge when forbidden doors are opened, leading to a realm of consequences one may never be prepared to face. A portion of these lies includes false promises, assuring him that all problems will be resolved in the future, that he will be fine later, while, in truth, the slow destruction begins today.

The artist's signature, INOIDEALIST, hidden in the mist, underscores the creation within the realm of ideals and perspectives. The spiral on the floor signifies life's rotation, a descent into darkness or light, encapsulating the choices shaping our journey.

"Bathroom of Dreams" transcends a mere portrayal; it offers a profound life lesson. Viewers are prompted to delve into introspection, challenging preconceptions, and contemplating the intricate messages within. Life, like this dreamscape, is a journey – a dance between comfort and the unknown, a delicate balance between light and darkness. The open door beckons, but the choice to step into the unknown rests with the observer, echoing the profound lessons hidden within the bathroom's surreal confines.
