Abstract
Sleep isolates one mentally and often physically from others. In this process dreams are often displayed, visualising one’s subconscious mind. Dreams are commonly considered as a mere fragmentation of random virtual experiences. Often the fragments merge to create a story, a meaning. Square/rectangular shape is a central element that runs through my work as an entrance to different dreams. Light is another core element used which holds duality: not only a portrayal of the reality but also its reflection exhibiting a sense of interaction between dreams and certainty. Overall monotonous colours were used to intensify the contrast between light and dark.
I wanted my works to be presented in a linear vertical manner so that my pieces harmonize with one another so that it resembles the linear shadows inside my model. The butter paper in front of the painting was slightly distanced from the wall and the painting in an attempt to give more of a three-dimensional effect as well as for the light to show through the cut outs. The model was placed in a slight angle to replicate the shadows from the photo. This was also achieved by placing a lamp next to the display to create a strong light source.
