A series of miniatures (10 x 10 cm), titled the Dream. A vintage photograph is cut and pasted on a watercolour in a completely different composition. As in a dream where one recognizes the various parts but does not quite know how they are connected to one another. Did the photographs perhaps never show the real world ? Did they perhaps just capture our hopes and wishes ?

The series is illustrated with a poem by Marco Nijmeijer (the Netherlands)
Climbing down along morning curtains
Your thoughts escaping … jumping
The floor will catch them, toss them back
… into your head
and there they’ll land
From heaven’s hand
Through the bottom of your mind
Who’s tilting the horizon now?
