Artist Statement

My surrealist collage is about what dreams feel like to me. How I see dreams is that they are pieces of reality and a bridge between consciousness and unconsciousness. I imagine dreams as a familiar place but things are altered in strange ways, which is what i tried to portray in this collage. I chose images that gave me a dream like feeling such as the moon, distant mountains, or city lights at night. I think of the birds as mystical creatures and the people standing on the cliff are the people who are dreaming and looking into the hidden parts of their consciousness. Even though most of my dreams are completely random I still see the as ethereal and mysterious. It might be the fact the consciousness and why dreams occur in the first place is not fully understood, and that mystery behind it makes dreams seem so interesting.

Surrealist Characters

The surrealist characters I used in this collage is the natural laws being reversed and scale change. It reverses natural laws because of the unnatural colour of the purple moon and the grey sky. It also uses scale change because of how the birds in the sky are bigger than the people on the cliff and the completely different sizes of the city and mountains.
