This work is an exhortation to collective dreaming. Over 130 thousand balloons carry aloft dreams harvested from the ground floor of the Patio Batel Atrium.

To enhance a sense of belonging and immersion in the work, the design for the dream factory that churns out the dream-balloons was based on the houses of the first immigrants to Curitiba in the 17th and 18th Centuries.
