The Lucid Dream series (2014/15) incorporates the vibrant colors of some of the natures deadliest, or most exotic fish, with the stone cold contrast of the nude idealistic body. It explores the human body in the landscape of a lucid dream, a state in which you are consciously in control of your subconscious, which is one of the most surreal perceptual experience one can have. Each figure suspended in a white reality, casting their singular shadows, while their dream coil, tangle and float around their bodies, ever so slightly out of reach.
The concept for this series came to me after successfully navigating my first lucid dream during the summer of 2014. It was an incredible experience because I learned that if you try too hard to manipulate the reality of a dream, you get closer and closer to waking up. Thus you have to walk the fine line between conscious and unconscious. It was possibly the most spiritual, other-worldly experience of my life thus far.
