I have an obsession with seeing into the future, so I made a dress form with windows and passages into the future represented by the clouds. The windows are open and some of them are partially obscured by the clouds, but in some of the windows are scenes of lovers and landscapes. The lovers and trees in the windows are, perhaps, a wish that the future is full of love and vitality and if it is, then there is no reason for discomfort.
