Waking Dream

Waking Dream portrays a moment suspended in introspection. Seated before a backdrop of deep violet foliage, a woman gazes outward, not toward us but into a space of her own contemplation. Her posture is relaxed, her hand gently supporting her head—yet her eyes hint at an active, internal dialogue.

The rich purples and dark shadows behind her seem to echo the complexity of her inner world, while the softness of her orange blouse brings warmth to the frame. There is calm here, but also tension—the fertile ground of thought, possibility, and uncertainty.

This piece captures the silent richness of thought, where emotion, memory, and imagination blend beneath the surface. It invites the viewer to pause and join her in that in-between place: neither fully here, nor gone—just present, and thinking.
