This is a very personal project, reflecting the frustration we feel when we pour too much of ourselves to someone else's dream, through a corporate job or working for someone else, to then be discarded and mistreated, our trust betrayed and there's nothing we can do.

It reflects the feeling of strength and independence gained after learning repeatedly that we need to take charge of our own dreams, and work harder for ourselves than we do/did for someone else, even if that sometimes means having to temporarily settle again for working for someone else to earn the income necessary to set the foundation that will eventually help us accomplish our own dreams and our own freedom from the shackles of having to work for someone else.
