Older people have dreams

There are many stereotypical beliefs about the needs of older individuals. One of them is the notion that they don't require new and exciting challenges. This is untrue.

It has become commonly believed that older people no longer have dreams and are only seeking peace. I believe my project shows the complete opposite.

Many older people harbor unfulfilled dreams, and it is precisely these unrealized dreams that lead to sad reflections on their lives.

I have never before witnessed such immense joy on people's faces.
