FIELD NOTES FROM A MIND EXPERIMENT
An exploration into what happens when the world is seen as if it’s pure projection.
A mind experiment, not a destination.
A reorientation with potential.
An ongoing hypothesis.
Welcome to L’Enclos.
This is where perception becomes the laboratory.
Join me.

What is The Dreamer?
THE SHARED IDENTITY
The Dreamer is you.
The Dreamer is me.
The Dreamer is us.
In that sense, We are The Dreamer.Not a role, not a personality, not the story you’ve been living — but something prior to all of it.
Something untouched by the shifting forms and definitions we inherit.
What if that’s what we really are — a state of being untouched since before the first labels and boundaries?
THE ONENESS BEHIND THE DREAM
Imagine a vantage point beyond the self — not inside the world, but from which the world appears.
From here, there aren’t truly “others,” or separate things, or fixed places, there is just The Dreamer.
Only One Mind, projecting as many — so convincingly, and just long enough, to explore what self-concept is like.
If that’s true, awakening to the consciousness of Oneness is less about becoming something new, and more about parting the veil we call “reality” so The Dreamer can begin to shine through.
THE PRACTICE
My role — as an artist, designer, entrepreneur, and philosophical explorer — is simply this:
To keep returning to this question. To live as if it’s true. To explore it. To create for it.
To keep testing and re-testing it. To keep shifting perception. To see the world anew — as if from a higher vantage, in the awareness of The Dreamer.
The Dreamer Practice isn’t easy. It asks the mind to notice — and interrupt — the system that has been shaping reality for you since the start.
Few will take on this experiment long enough to feel the shift. But for those who do, the change touches everything.
This is a personal exploration. A mind experiment in constant motion. Not a call to believe me — but an invitation to look again, as if you are the one imagining it all.

Piece of Mind
A quiet exercise in perception—toward oneness and peace
As part of an ongoing experiment in consciousness-first vision, this simple test uses the phrase “It’s all piece of mind” to explore the possibility that all things arise within one mind.

How do art and design function as tools of inquiry when ancient philosophical insights and modern scientific discoveries intersect—revealing consciousness as fundamental to reality?
ART & DEVICES
Artworks as Signposts for Nondual Inquiry
L'Enclos develops artistic research and experiential design to explore perception, identity, and consciousness. Some works function as 'Self-Questioning Devices'—interactive tools for disrupting habitual thought patterns, sparking self-inquiry, and inviting deeper awareness. Others serve as visual markers, bridging insights from nondual philosophy, consciousness studies, and cognitive science to examine how perception shapes reality. These works do not seek to represent truth but to engage viewers in direct inquiry—reminding us that our perception of the world is shaped by unseen assumptions and may not fully capture its deeper essence.

ABOUT L’ENCLOS
L'Enclos bridges creative research with direct inquiry into consciousness, exploring how design, art, and structured methodologies can shift perception. Rooted in Eastern philosophies and emerging consciousness studies, it serves as an independent space for experimentation—where creativity becomes a tool for self-inquiry and awakening.
Join us in exploring new ways to engage with awareness, perception, and the interconnected nature of reality.
This blog post delves into the origins of 'Design for Nothing,' a practice that integrates elements of Advaita Vedanta, Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and 'A Course in Miracles' to transcend ego and realize one's true, nondual essence. Discover the story behind the choice of the term "design" and how it shapes the philosophy. Learn how to create an inner space for 'nothing' and experience profound shifts in perception.
