In Afternoon Nap, I explore the in-between space where consciousness softens - where the mind drifts and the ordinary dissolves into dream. The palette of soft whites, coral, pinks, apple green, and aqua flows gently across the surface, creating a serene, suspended atmosphere. These colors hum in harmony, like the steady rhythm of breath during rest.
The organic shapes and flowing lines echo one another, sometimes connecting, sometimes floating apart. There is a unity between them, a sense of belonging - but also a quiet tension, as if they’re part of the same dream yet unaware of each other’s presence. This delicate balance of connection and disconnection mirrors the nature of dreams: fluid, fragmented, vivid yet intangible.
Gold lines and marks shimmer between the shapes, like fleeting thoughts or glimmers of memory - a kind of golden thread stitching the dream together, even as it unravels.
Afternoon Nap is an invitation to pause, to drift, and to feel the beauty in what doesn’t quite resolve. It honors the restful, floating sensation of letting go - and the mysterious places our minds wander when we do.
