“Dreams in Dreamland” provides an unorthodox view on an urban landscape. Depicting the surreal and dreamy mood of being a bystander, observing the world in slow motion. Like a Lemarchand box revealing alternative planes of existence throughout a puzzle, my inhibitions and imagination unfold before me. Shy by nature, the hidden layers of self are slowly peeled away.

Each image is a reflection of what drives me, on inner and outer levels. Senses are stimulated by what the eye sees and my childish interpretation of an urban world that I wish others to experience. The rekindling of an earlier life, excluded in a world of transitory shelters.
