This is the first work I made in my new "Fantastic Journeys" series.

I see this as a view of a city from the mind of a dreamer. Data and complexities fade around the edges, while images, words, colors and shapes mingle in a way impossible for real physics.
I wanted to create a piece that would feel different far away vs. up close, with new details that would come to light each time it is looked at.
