DIORAMAS

​Tell Me a Story - The Dreamwalkers Jour
ney


A series of 9 dioramas that follow the narrative arc of a quest. A quest is a journey we make to understand the secrets of life. The journey reflects our curiosity and personal attempts to push boundaries and reach new destinations and frontiers. The quest narrative is common to most cultures and is found in many books (Harry Potter), movies (Star Wars) and video games (Myst). These dioramas follow the story of Kai, an unlikely choice of an individual, who searches for the strength and support from others to save the land.
