THE ONEIRIC

When I created my physical sculpture that this series is based on, MIST, it commented on the oneiric world and its presence in our day to day. Our daydreams are full of fantasy, endless paths, and possibilities. Providing us hope for, insight into, and escape from the surrounding ‘real’ life.

We can see how a mysterious dreamy smoke sprouts from the shoulders of the character, flowing into the reality surrounding him and mixing with its environment.

Sculpting the smoke element in clay with my own hands, it was a difficult mission to achieve the effect I intended. Thankfully, now translating this piece to digital art, the concept can be better expressed in animations.

THE ONEIRIC: Escape

Sometimes life becomes too heavy to manage, or maybe too monotonous to endure, or even often we just lose our concentration, get distracted, and slip into our daydreams.

These imagined worlds empower us to escape our surroundings and expand our minds. This new reality even becoming our close companion following us as we walk through this life.
