Don't Mess with Your Dreams

Artist statement:

This work first appeared to me in a dream. In the dream, it was oversized, made up of a series of tubes through which I could move and pass. Each tube acted as a passage, a space that invited entry, while at the same time creating a sense of discomfort and uncertainty. The experience of moving through them was intense and powerful, almost physical, leaving a strong impression on my memory.

Upon waking, I decided to immediately translate this dream into reality. The very next day, I made a sketch, aiming to preserve the relationship between form and the feeling the dream conveyed. From that sketch, this sculpture was created – a scaled-down version of the dream, yet retaining the idea of passage, internal movement, and the symbolism of tubes as spaces to move through. The work represents the materialization of this dream and an attempt to convey a personal inner experience into physical form.
