In all wars there is one constant: children are always the biggest victims. The children surviving a war situation, often have a trauma about that carry them with them for the rest of their life. Their situation seems hopeless… To survive, children have to hold on to their dreams. That helps them to leave conflict behind and fight for their future.
The Floating Dreams project gave that idea literally and figuratively. On the site of the IJzertoren became 70 large polyester statues posted of boys and girls, a reference to the commemoration of 100 year WWI.
Their backpack symbolizes the experiences that they must carry with them. The balloons refer to their dreams, dreams that give them strength to fight to leave behind. The dreams float like balloons above the children's heads, just within their reach. Each image has its own story.
Artist Kamagurka gave this images that personal touch. He 'meaned' the images and gave them so literally and figuratively a meaning.
