THE 'COLLECTIVE DREAM'

THE 'COLLECTIVE DREAM'

I created a colouring book and of my dreams with abstract illustrations, but it also serves as an archive of this project. ‘Subconscious Flow’ are a series of free-flowing abstract paintings that I use to express my inner thoughts. I designed pillows and bedsheets in the same style. I also showcased digitally manipulated film photography to create beautiful shapes with mirroring.
