As Pandora’s myth, the vision of the future can be seen with optimistic or pessimistic eyes. Are devils liberated or blessings liberated after Pandora’s box is open?

The Encapsulation of Hope represents the eternal hope in the human spirit and the infinite waves of possibilities ahead. Hope for a better future, hope for a still human essence in perhaps different types of beings and in new creatures. Hope in the perception of the world and of the universe, in the human conscience and respect, in the freedom of own-will, consciousness, thoughts and education. Hope in a place where we are not controlled by technological advances, but where we work together, understanding the importance and beauty of the process of thinking. 

It is 2075, Leiden University students are analysed. Their chemical and emotional levels are examined. Hands are placed softly on thin plasma screens to be screened for the right amount of information and knowledge to be transferred. Knowledge is screened via AI systems, transmitted via wired fluid channels according to each person's needs and personality, transferred directly into their minds, without the need of physical books or professors.

The Encapsulation of Hope dreams of a future which has finally learned from the past. A future that has learned that forgetting how elastic, powerful and wonderful our brains are is not the answer, and which results in a horrendous consummation of our creativity and beautiful individuality. It is an ode to our inner cosmos, those magic 'a-ha' moments, creative flows, internal motivation, the splendour of diversity, education, real connections and the real and marvellous world of people ready to teach us the little and hard lessons about life and ourselves.
