When I Wake From My Dreams explores the fleeting moments when the dream world begins to dissolve, yet its emotions remain vividly present. It reflects the quiet transition between sleep and waking, where memories blur, details soften, and imagination slowly gives way to reality.
 
Created with alcohol ink, spray paint, and resin on a wooden panel, the work achieves its luminous atmosphere by introducing spray paint into wet alcohol ink, allowing the colors to diffuse into soft, glowing veils. The result is an ethereal surface where color appears to drift through light, echoing the elusive nature of dreams as they slip beyond our reach.
 
When I Wake From My Dreams preserves the feeling of holding onto something beautiful just a moment longer before it disappears. It invites viewers to linger within that delicate threshold where memory, emotion, and imagination coexist, reminding us that even the dreams we cannot fully remember often leave the deepest impressions.
