Dreamcatcher
捕梦网
苏州北美国际高级中学即将迎来一场以“捕梦网”为主题的盛大艺术活动。捕梦网源自十八世纪的印第安文化，是原住民智慧与信仰的象征，蕴含深刻的象征意义。星辰点缀的夜晚，印第安人相信空气中漂浮着各式各样的梦境，而捕梦网则守护梦境，过滤善恶。这一神秘而富有艺术性的元素，成为本次艺术活动的灵感之源。
SNA is set to host a grand arts event themed around the “Dreamcatcher.” Originating from 18th-century Native American culture, the Dreamcatcher symbolizes Indigenous wisdom and beliefs, carrying deep symbolic meaning. On starlit nights, Native Americans believed that dreams floated through the air, and the Dreamcatcher served to guard and filter these dreams, distinguishing between good and bad. This mysterious and artistic element has become the source of inspiration for this event.
捕梦网的制作过程充满仪式感和匠人的祈愿。圆形象征着生命的循环与宇宙的和谐，网纹似乎能捕捉善恶梦境：好运穿过网眼，而厄运在清晨的阳光中消散。珠子的点缀增添了美感和寓意，象征着好运与传承，寄托着守护的祝福代代相传。
The creation of a Dreamcatcher is rich with ritual and the maker’s heartfelt wishes. Its circular shape symbolizes the cycle of life and the harmony of the universe, while the web patterns seem to capture dreams, distinguishing between good and bad: good dreams pass through, while misfortune is trapped and fades with the first light of dawn. The beads add both beauty and meaning, symbolizing good luck and continuity, carrying blessings of protection through generations.
此次艺术盛宴深受古老印第安文化中捕梦网的神秘魅力所启发，打造了一项大型艺术互动装置，旨在促进SNA社区全员深度参与。该装置巧妙地融合了造梦、寻梦、捕梦和释梦的多元体验，全方位演绎古老的异域文化中的祈愿精神。
This artistic celebration draws deep inspiration from the mystical allure of the Dreamcatcher in ancient Native American culture, presenting a large-scale interactive art installation designed to engage the entire SNA community. The installation seamlessly combines experiences of dream-making, seeking, catching, and releasing, fully embodying the spirit of heartfelt wishes in this timeless and exotic tradition.
参与者将被邀请在环保材料的辅助下书写自己的心愿，并将其与种子一同放入捕梦球中。每一个球都承载着对美好生活的向往以及对自然的敬畏与爱护。同时，“寻梦”空间仿佛将参与者带回了古老的印第安村落，光影交错间充满了梦幻感。
Participants will be invited to write their wishes on sustainable materials, placing them alongside seeds inside Dream Spheres. Each sphere embodies a longing for a better life and a deep respect and care for nature. Meanwhile, the "Dream-Seeking" space transports participants to an ancient Native American village, where interwoven light and shadow create an atmosphere filled with a sense of wonder and reverie.
“捕梦”环节则为活动增加了趣味性，参与者有机会随机挑选精致的捕梦网中的捕梦球，打开它的那一刻便开始了神秘的梦境之旅。
The “Dream-Catching” segment adds an element of excitement, as participants are invited to randomly select a Dream Sphere from a finely crafted Dreamcatcher. The moment they open it, their journey into a mysterious dream world begins.
最后，“释梦”区域则为参与者提供了一个分享感悟的平台，从环保议题到个人梦想的实现，再到社区共同愿景的构建，这一活动无疑是一场公共参与的艺术行为。它不仅是一场祈愿活动，更是一次关于生命、梦想与未来的深刻探索与体验。
Finally, the “Dream-Releasing” area offers participants a platform to share their reflections—ranging from environmental concerns to personal aspirations and the building of a shared community vision. This activity is undeniably a collective art experience, engaging public participation. It is not only a ritual of wishes but a profound exploration of life, dreams, and the future.
