Helbing created Sometimes I Sits in memory of his mother Pat Helbing. Reflecting on a poster she had showing an Orangutan titled "Sometimes I sits and thinks and sometimes I just sits," Helbing developed his ideas of a dream machine. It is a functional sculpture meant to be completed when visitors that choose to sit down and dream for a bit.
