Dream City 12 (Dream City)

This work assembles a compact village-world from interlocking planes and patterned textures, as if architecture and memory have been quilted into a single, floating habitation. The limited earthy palette—ochres, creams, and deep browns—lets light behave like a quiet weather system, moving across roofs and facades in soft blocks while the sky’s fine, swirling striations suggest time passing rather than mere atmosphere. Two trees stand like sentinels at the edges: one blossoming, one tall and spare, framing the settlement’s vulnerability and endurance, and turning the scene into a meditation on shelter as both structure and psyche. In its gentle distortions of scale and perspective, the piece feels less like a place observed than a place recalled—intimate, protective, and slightly mythic.
