Inspired by indigenous cultures, this installation of craft objects represents ancestral knowledge of holistic healing practices to help with sleep disturbances. Made with medicinal seeds and discarded and recycled materials, this work combines tradition and innovation with a self-care, empowering, and survivalist attitude. The dreamcatchers are designed to send good dreams to the sleeper and keep bad dreams away.
