My work explores the blurred space between sleep and wakefulness, where self and emotion intertwine in a nonlinear and unpredictable flow. Inspired by my surroundings, dreams, and personal experiences, I create fragmented imagery that captures the fleeting moments when consciousness and the subconscious merge.
Through layered colours and surreal compositions, I depict the intersection of reality and the unknown, revealing shifts in perception and the dissolution of boundaries. An elderly woman converses with a green goat, a sleeper grows red-rooted leaves, a vague silhouette stands before the Tower of Babel, and a distant figure lingers at the edge of a celebration—each scene forming a dialogue between different realms of existence.
In my work, dreams and reality intertwine, and emotions resonate with symbolism. I invite the viewer to step into this space between wakefulness and dreams, where the subconscious emerges and logic dissolves.
