Language of Dreams, 2026.
Dreams are something intangible, unstable, and deeply emotional. Rather than attempting to recreate them literally, this series focuses on how they feel and the emotional remnants they leave behind in our waking life.
Dreams begin before we fall asleep. The emotional state we carry into the night, whether that be anxiety, frustration, calmness, or tension, influences our dreams. It all boils down to this common idea that it is “bad to go to bed angry”. Ive taken the time to reflect on this notion. The emotional weight of the day does not just disappear when we sleep; instead, it persists in a different form. Dreams become a space where these emotions are processed, and maybe even intensified. The brain has this amazing ability to connect recent emotional moments with similar memories from the past. Because of this, dreams are never quite precise. They are not an accurate representation of reality, and the images we do see are products of this internal process.
The series is grounded in the idea that dreams act as a form of emotional decompression. When strong emotions from our waking world are not fully resolved, they resurface at night. Dreams allow the mind to process what it could not fully understand during the day.
