This piece is a conscious and subconscious amalgamation of my experience during the final semester ‘at’ The University of Melbourne. During the lockdown. My time was – like many – frequently in front of a screen; be it Zoom tutorials, watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or stuck scrolling through the Kardashian empire on Instagram. Here, I reflect on my dreams and merge them with my digital reality; creating an otherworldly universe whereby vampires, fidget spinners, and the Kardashians coexist.
