The Dream of a Ridiculous Man

"The Dream of a Ridiculous Man", digital, 2021, Maria Panou

Inspired by Dostojevsky’s short story “The Dream of a Ridiculous Man”. Somewhere faraway or deep inside, there is another Earth similar to the one we know but inhabited by perfect beings. Innocent people flow with the stream of all beings in absolute harmony. But Paradise cannot last forever. The fall of man is inevitable. Is it really possible for humans to return in an innocent state of being, or Paradise is beyond reach?
