Hypnagogic State represents a “purgatory” between wakefulness and sleep, also known as the hypnagogic state. Here, Miyoshi explores her lifelong experience with sleep paralysis and nightmares, through recorded, hallucinatory, and untethered visions.
Joni represents a meditative, rest-like state – a catharsis. Reminiscent of her grandmother whom Aya would spend all of her childhood summers with, quilts are emblematic of her sense of home, belonging, and rest.
