Jialu Li
I am a graduate student in interior design. I am interested in speculative design and thinking about the infinite possibilities that come with uncertainty. My designs tend to be more of a painful and unrestrained imagination, allowing the imagination to wander freely, which is a privilege belonging to young designers. It is what we should do to make tradition novel and conformity to independence. While studying books on interior design theory, I also like to explore sociological and psychological knowledge, which better supports my learning and development of discursive design.

Escape to Dreamland
The name of the project is “Escape to the Dream World”. Initially inspired by my personal dreams, I want to explore the deeper meaning of dreams to people’s lives and their personalities through this project. Through reading various books on dream psychology theory, I categorized dreams into three interpretations: metaphor, consciousness, and escape. I then translate these three concepts into a concrete interior space to help people better interpret their dreams and thus understand themselves better. As Jung suggested, dreams compensate for the attitude of self-consciousness and unveil the unconscious. We thus understand and help to improve our own personality.
