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: Insight

Our dreams are like a window to our subconscious where we can recognize, reflect, and gain a deeper understanding of our emotional selves. It allows us to make novel realizations and possibly even solve problems. Obtaining these insights into the self is integral in navigating our interpersonal lives and when acquiring this knowledge we may rejoice in our conclusions.
