Each fragment of ephemera, every torn edge, every ink-stained fiber—together, they weave a tale that transcends paper and glue. Today’s mixed media tag is an exploration of these layers, an attempt to capture the way our dreams build upon one another, sometimes in quiet harmony, sometimes in fractured disarray.

The color palette is muted, grounded in the comfort of neutrals

At the heart of this composition stands a child, her portrait worn with time, her innocence veiled by the word dream. A word placed not over her lips, nor against her chest, but across her eyes—as if to say, dreams do not come from what we see, but from what we dare to envision. She is caught between reality and reverie, wrapped in the very layers that shape her world.

Layers are what give depth to our dreams, just as they give depth to our art. We build upon our past, our experiences, our moments of inspiration and hesitation. We cover, we reveal, we shift perspectives. And sometimes, amidst the worn paper and scattered fragments, we find something unexpected—perhaps even a glimpse of ourselves.
