In dreams, we encounter extraordinary things: patterns, trinkets, and fragments of daily life stay with us, often unnoticed. Each night, these objects return. The unreachable becomes attainable. The pattern of a childhood bedspread resurfaces as the wallpaper of our minds. Everyday items, whether fantastic or mundane, swirl together and form new meanings that inspire art. For me, artificial flowers and simple stickers serve as portals to dreamscapes. In photography, a flower is still a flower, whether artificial or not. These familiar things shape the way I see and create. Where, then, is the boundary between dream and reality?
