Concept & Motivation

Healing Inscape: Endless is my immersive VR project that visualizes collective dreams as symbolic landscapes, exploring how social crises, such as migration struggles, cultural displacement, and generational anxiety, shape our subconscious emotional states.

The work is inspired by interviews I conducted with young immigrants in the Netherlands. I collected recurring dream symbols that revealed shared feelings of uncertainty, loss of control, and cultural dislocation. By transforming these patterns into interactive virtual environments, I invite participants to step inside these subconscious worlds and experience them from within. My aim is to create an open and poetic space where viewers can reflect on complex social and emotional realities through visual storytelling.

Process & Method

In this project, I translate dream logic and metaphor into immersive VR to express what often cannot be spoken, but can be felt and seen.

Drawing on the concept of inscape, the internal landscape of the mind, and the principle of catharsis from psychotherapy, I reconstruct subconscious imagery into full-scale, emotionally charged environments. Visitors navigate symbolic spaces that embody anxiety, hope, and longing, encouraging empathy and self-reflection.

My approach combines 3D visualization, and space design to create experiences that are both visually compelling and emotionally resonant. By blending personal narratives with universal themes, I aim to bridge individual and collective experience, making complex inner emotional landscapes accessible to diverse audiences.

Impact & Audience

This project is intended for anyone navigating identity shifts, uncertainty, or emotional fragmentation, particularly those with cross-cultural backgrounds, immigrants, and individuals affected by societal instability. It also speaks to audiences interested in mental health, art therapy, immersive storytelling, and digital culture.

Rather than providing answers, Healing Inscape: Endless offers a space for empathy, reflection, and emotional exploration. My intention is to help audiences recognize shared feelings, connect with others, and process complex experiences within a safe and imaginative virtual environment.
