This collection is inspired by a haunting recurring dream I had as a child.

The dream: Walking down a sidewalk when suddenly, the ground beneath me opens into a pitch-black hole. I fall into an endless, terrifying abyss, bracing for impact, only to be met by nothing but darkness. I wake up gasping for air, heart racing.

Interpreting the dream: This recurring vision reflects the stress and anxiety I faced. Dreams like these often symbolize unresolved psychological trauma, parts of ourselves we resist confronting. While terrifying, I’ve come to view this dream in a more positive light. Not knowing what lies ahead is part of life’s thrill. Yes, it can be scary at times, but what would life be without its uncertainty and challenges? It's about breaking free from the confines of “normal” and stepping into the unknown.

Words from the artist: Over time, this dream faded as I took better care of myself. Falling is part of learning, and learning is part of living. Sometimes, it takes falling countless times to find peace, happiness, success, love—whatever it may be. No matter how many times you stumble, always keep moving forward.

This collection represents that leap into the unknown, embracing discomfort as a means to grow and experience life fully. It’s about falling with hope, trusting that each step forward is part of the journey.

Please take from this collection what resonates with you. Creating this art was a personal journey, and now, the final work is for you to enjoy.
