Daydreaming: a short-term detachment from one’s immediate surroundings, during which a person’s contact with reality is blurred and partially substituted by a visionary fantasy.

The convergence of the irrational and the rational, as a method for analyzing reality. The union of these two elements, so distant, yet at the same time so close, is meant to represent the process our brain undergoes when we observe any scene from our daily lives.
The continuous, uninterrupted flow of thoughts, whether voluntary or not, that accompanies us at every moment takes shape before our eyes; it is perceived as part of us and as part of the whole. Interiority and exteriority exchange places, blend together, bringing into the real world what we have always held within. The images we find ourselves observing, therefore, are not simply a trick of our brain, but an expression of our consciousness.
