utopia

A dreamlike landscape with a golden castle floating in a vast sky, shrouded in mist
"A castle singing of perfection drifts far away in the mist, the illusion of an ideal floating in the sky again today."
Faith & Philosophy

Description

Utopia is the phantom paradise where no one has ever set foot. A social alchemy of perfection talked about by all, yet never implemented by anyone. It is like a museum of ideals where dreamers convene to ignore the inconveniences of reality. Everyone debates endlessly, only to leave everything unchanged, serving as a comfort blanket for collective anxiety. It is boarding a bus to nowhere, but one tells themselves it beats the crowded train of everyday life.
