The Garden of Dreams and Nightmares

"“[We] are an interesting species...Capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares." - Carl Sagan, 'Contact'

This piece is part of a personal project I’m developing, which I would like to turn into an interactive story/game experience. We humans are capable of such great beauty and wisdom, but also such terrible darkness and cruelty. Our individual journeys out of childish ignorance and into deeper understanding mirrors our collective journey as a species, growing out of our savage, animal origins towards an enlightened state of higher consciousness.
