Ravilous Dreams, marries bold digital craftsmanship with a poignant art‑historical reference. Rendered in crisp vector blocks, photomontages and blend layers a single, exuberant banana leaf is transfigured as it flows across the three pieces, its pastel greens and yellows recalling the cool‑toned palette of Sussex‑born artist Eric Ravilious (1903‑1942).
Beyond its playful surface, the piece explores a tension between containment and release: the leaf’s curving indentations pierce the borders, while a semi‑opaque strip of tape hints at an imminent rupture. This visual dialogue subtly echoes Ravilious’s own tragic fate—the first British war artist to fall in combat over Iceland in 1942—infusing the work with an unexpected depth and historical resonance.
