Erwin Olaf’s series Hope (2005) explores the relationship between dream and reality. The protagonists are caught in a second of introspection, drowning silently in the depth of their thoughts. The era of the American dream promised them ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’, but the latter was never fully captured.
