Soaked Dream is an art project created by Bangladeshi artist Firoz Mahmud in 2013.[1][2] It features drawings, sculptures, videos, and photos portraying the symbolic dream of colonial people, cross-border refugee families, immigrants, diasporas, exodus, deprived people and ethnic minorities who look for prosperity arriving in their new location.[3]
Mahmud arranges families of those communities, makes sculptures of metaphoric eyeglasses with the help of those families and creates photographs. The external part of this project was also a video of the Chimera project.[4]
