Dream

'Dream' explores the two realities we inhabit, in our waking life and in dream, in which our conscious minds melt away and we enter a state that is vivid and yet formless, tangible yet abstract, as if entering another dimension. We carry this subconscious narrative into our waking lives, like a distant memory. Just like Jung believed that dreams are a way for the unconscious mind to communicate with the conscious mind, so here the immersion of the artist into a free-flow state, allowing randomness and spontaneity to control the process before editing, allows the artist to tap into a deeper, untapped state of consciousness.
