This series of portraits explores the idea that the faces we dream of are not entirely original but rather a collage of those we’ve encountered in waking life. Each painting captures this dreamlike essence, presenting figures that feel familiar yet are not tied to specific identities. By allowing the brush to lead the way, I create faces that reflect both the people I’ve known and the dream world itself.

In this piece, one figure covers another's eye with her thumb—perhaps an attempt to shift their perspective, offering them a new way of seeing the world.
