As sociological and psychological effect; feeling trapped in an island with the lack of feasibility to reach to our passions, mostly ends up with giving up on them and leaving behind. Sometimes, even without giving it a try. Like a child, having a big dream and a grown up, giving up on a childhood dream. With the division and uncertain future, the islanders are trapped in many ways. ‘Aphrodite’s Dream Mobile (ADM)’ is an interactive mobile trash shed; which exudes invisible problems of the island in an ironical way. While the touristic developments build up another membrane for the island; would all the dreams end up in a trash after many tries? Or would they reach to a victory after same amount of fail?
