Dreamscapes

Dreamscapes collapse the barrier between the dreaming and waking realms, tapping into the world of unconstrained imagination. Each vignette has stitched together random, unrelated imagery, in a similar way our brain conjures up dreams and creates an alternative reality, which to a conscious, rational mind, wouldn’t make sense. Unusual juxtapositions of objects and images introduce an element of playfulness to the work and charge it with a whimsical narrative.
