Shapes of a Dream presents a body of work that investigates the construction of memory through imagined and suspended moments. Positioned between fantasy and recollection, the paintings, drawings and sculptures explore how nostalgia reshapes lived experience into something fluid, fragmented, and intimate.

 

Recurring figures such as  wandering dogs, birds in flight, familiar objects appear to drift gently within ambiguous, dreamlike environments. They function not as fixed narratives, but as symbolic figures that move through ambiguous, dreamlike spaces shaped by longing, tenderness, and quiet wonder. 

 

These spaces suggest coastal landscapes, yet resist fixed definition: the sea dissolves into the sky, and boundaries become indistinct. This instability reflects the shifting nature of memory, where places and experiences are felt rather than precisely recalled.

 

Through rhythm, repetition, and fluid mark-making, the paintings hold a tension between stillness and movement, as if time is briefly extended or paused. The works do not reconstruct specific narratives, but instead evoke the sensation of remembering without a source, where nostalgia emerges from an imagined or unattainable past. The works invite viewers into a soft and ambiguous terrain where memory, nostalgia, and fantasy blur together.

 

In Shapes of a Dream, the works become small vessels for these elusive states, moments suspended between presence and disappearance, where the ordinary world begins to feel gently enchanted. The exhibition ultimately reflects on longing as an endless search: a desire not to return to what was, but to what is felt as if it had been.
