Dreams In The Time of Covid

Graphic designers, Joe Mercurio and Lisset Vera, were tapped to visualize what the average dreams (or nightmares) look like today. Mercurio tells GDUSA: Depicting the most recurring dreams and nightmares amid the coronavirus pandemic was a fascinating assignment. There’s something surreal about curating collages using the concepts occupying the American subconscious, but at the same time, I find solace in knowing we’re all enduring these tumultuous times together.” And states Vera: “Dreams reflect our deepest emotions and feelings. They are a mixture of situations that go beyond a single image, so the photographic search and editing were intended to create surreal images with the digital collage technique. It was the best tool to represent each scenario of what we feel and live today in the face of the pandemic.”
