Nothing Is Lost But You Yourself
“Nothing Is Lost But You Yourself” began as an attempt to salvage a few of my dreams from oblivion and to explore the self when it is most unguarded. The project began before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic and was completed during the first lockdown. As the pandemic spread and affected us all, my dream world became more intense. Researchers have reported a general upsurge in vivid, anxious and bizarre dreams; the project thus became a testament to how the pandemic affected our deep, instinctive selves. It was also a time when many of us, confined inside our homes, turned inwards and were faced with our darker inner selves, when reality seemed to compete in surrealness with our dreams.
