I WISH TOMORROW (IWT) invites people to share their wishes for the future at any time and in any language. At night, projected wishes light up the sky in the hope that someday they will become reality. 

The project is rooted in the central concept that the act of wishing for the future is a fundamental human proclivity, reflecting our innate orientation toward hope, possibility, and imagined alternatives. IWT interprets traditional wishing practices such as the Brazilian Fitas do Senhor do Bonfim, the Turkish wishing trees, the Dutch Wensboom, to the East Asian celebrations of the union of the heavenly stars, as Japanese Tanabata, the Chinese Qixi and the Korean Chilseok, etc., into a contemporary digital art format.

The continuous collection of wishes materialises through projection in public space as a living, collective narrative and a space of social participation that transcends the cultural and linguistic boundaries, creating a space where individual intimacy meets public expression. It attempts to inspire transcultural understanding, empathy and solidarity.

The project was created in response to the "Earlier, Later" theme of the 2023 Noorderlicht Parade, in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp and the Antwerp North community.
