Dreams
About The Project: Virtual Exhibition + Artist’s Interview
Dreams is a virtual exhibition created through an open call for artists who wanted to share something personal. The theme being Dreams..
Dreams often carry what we do not say out loud. They hold memories, worries, quiet hopes, and thoughts that surface when we finally stop controlling the story.
This exhibition is about honesty. Some works come from comfort; others from restlessness or longing. Many sit somewhere in between.
What connects them is the feeling of recognition, that moment when something seen on a screen feels strangely close to your own inner world.
Artists from different places and backgrounds respond to dreams in their own way. Some works feel soft and slow, like something remembered just after waking. Others feel sharp, broken, or intense, echoing how dreams can stay with us long after they end. Together, they reflect how dreams often speak in emotion before words.
The exhibition is available online so viewers can view the work privately, in their own time. There is no single path through the exhibition. You can move quickly or stay with one piece longer. Like dreams themselves, the experience is personal and open, shaped by what the viewer brings and wants.
Artists who choose to add an interview offer another layer of connection. These conversations allow artists to speak simply and honestly about what their work comes from, how dreams influence their process, and why certain images keep returning. The interviews are not meant to explain the work away, but to make the human presence behind it visible.
Dreams invites viewers to recognise parts of themselves in unfamiliar images. It reminds us that what feels deeply personal often connects us to others in quiet ways.
Exhibition Note
Dreams: A Virtual Exhibition
Dreams explores what happens when the mind lets go, and emotion takes the lead. In dreams, time loosens, logic fades, and feeling becomes the main language. This exhibition brings together artists who work within that space, where images form from memory, instinct, and lived experience rather than intention.
Each artwork approaches dreams differently. Some feel held together by tenderness, as if protecting something fragile. Others feel unsettled or unresolved, reflecting how dreams can expose fear, desire, or loss without warning. The works do not aim to tell complete stories. They offer fragments and moments.
Across painting, drawing, photography, collage, digital media, and mixed practices, dreams appear as emotional landscapes. As you move through the exhibition, the experience shifts naturally. Some works feel light and open; others feel heavy or intense. That change in feeling mirrors how thoughts and emotions move through real life, rarely staying in one place for long.
The exhibition leaves room to feel first. What stays with you may be different from what stays with someone else, and that difference matters. Sometimes an artwork lingers simply because it touches something personal, not because it explains itself.
Dreams speaks to the shared experience of carrying thoughts, memories, and emotions that surface without warning. It offers a space to sit with those moments and recognise them as part of being human, something felt, remembered, and imagined by everyone in their own way.
