Dream #33 – Dream Voyager (Framed Matte Canvas)

Dream #33 – Dream Voyager

This piece feels like that space right between being awake and being asleep, where all the colours start to melt and run together. The iris opens up into this glowing sea, with deep blues and violet currents all swirling toward a horizon that's always moving. There's even a little island inside the pupil, a quiet little spot surrounded by starlit waves. Streams of molten gold and magenta wrap around it all, making an eye that feels both cosmic and strangely alive.

Dream Voyager is about that quiet feeling of being lost in a thought, and not really wanting to find your way back. It's the kind of dream that sticks with you all day, coloring your mood. This eye doesn't just see; it feels like it remembers. Every swirl of color is like a trace of some place you've been, whether it was real or just in your head. That one glowing star above it acts like a gentle guide, a soft reminder that even your wildest dreams have some sense of direction.

There's a warmth under all that color. It makes you feel like this isn't just a dream—it's a journey inward. The longer you look, the more it pulls you in, like a thought you didn't even know you were having.

Artist’s Note:
I started Dream Voyager on a sleepless night, just thinking about how memories all blend together when you're drifting off. I really wanted to capture what it feels like when your mind builds entire worlds while your body is at rest. The island in the pupil was almost an accident; it was just a few shapes that slowly turned into something that felt familiar. It reminded me that our inner worlds are never just random—they always mean something, even if they don't explain themselves outright. To me, this piece is a reminder that every dream is a kind of map. And sometimes, the only way to travel is to just close your eyes.
