theory & interpretation

DPR's music and visual art is layered with meaning and references. Sometimes artists create with specific meaning in mind; other times their work is open-ended and leaves interpretation to the viewer.  Over the years, many DREAMers have crated guides to explain who DPR is and posted theories to interpret DPR's work.

​

Beyond creative inspiration, DREAMers find encouragement and insight from DPR's work as well as from the members themselves.  DPR LIVE and DPR IAN have shared some deep and personal stories about themselves through their work as well as through social media communication with their fans. Oftentimes, fans refer to DPR IAN's Instagram Lives as therapy sessions because his open discussion about mental health as well as everyday life lessons. The members of DPR share from their hearts and show their real selves, which in turn inspires fans to look at their own lives with a different perspective. In DPR's Mindset collection, DPR IAN, DPR LIVE and DPR REM share stories  from their past that they've never talked about before. What it comes down to is that DPR helps their fans feel less alone. People who are struggling often don't need advice; they just need to hear that someone else has been through something similar and has survived. And that spirit of sharing and giving from a small group of people creates ripple effects extending out further and further to make the world a bit of a better place.
