Dream City 4 (Island City)

This work stages a compact, almost ark-like settlement adrift in a restless field of etched currents, where the surrounding darkness circles with the insistence of wind or water. The island of architecture—stitched from patterned facades, roofs, and windows—glows in ochres and muted golds, its warmth simultaneously protective and precarious against the engulfing void. By collapsing multiple viewpoints into a single stacked mass, the composition turns habitation into memory: layered, intimate, and slightly unstable, as if community must constantly reassemble itself to remain afloat. The few tufted trees read like quiet sentinels, softening the geometry while underscoring the fragile pact between built order and the larger, indifferent atmosphere.
