Artwork Details
This sculpture is a work with a strong symbolic character to convey the idea that dreams are a gateway to key elements that can be interpreted.
The work depicts a dreamlike journey, in which the dreaming artist’s mind travels towards infinity through symbols, memories, inspiration and the creations in his work.
The figure dominating the lower right represents the beginning of the dream – a man at rest, who enters the dream world. The subtle smile expresses inner peace.
The body takes the form of the infinity symbol, which levitates suggesting the continuity of ideas, dreams and imagination that has no limits.
In dreams, the infinity sign can be understood as a representation of the relationship between the physical and spiritual worlds, representing the harmony and meeting between body and spirit, material and divine.
The wavy lines represent waves of thoughts, dreams or time – a free flow between reality and the subconscious.
The image on the left - middle, “digital loneliness”, as an effect of contemporary digital acceleration is an allusion to the famous painting “The Parable of the Blind” by Pieter Bruegel the Elder from 1568 (inspired by an evangelical verse) and creates a bridge between the classic and the current, between the spiritual blindness of the 16th century and the “Digital Blindness” of the 21st century.
The first character, captive of the virtual environment, continues to look at his phone while falling into the abyss.
This is a powerful detail, perhaps the harshest criticism: even in the fall, modern man remains a prisoner of digital illusions. Not even suffering can bring him out of his trance.
This section brings a strongly reflective contemporary dimension. It is a mirror in which the modern viewer can recognize himself – or be frightened. It functions as a sculpted alarm signal, a call to inner awakening.
In a sculpture that speaks of dream, infinity, imagination, this area acts as a counterpoint: a warning about the danger of confusing dreaming with delusion. It is the difference between:
- Creative dreaming, which leads to infinity and revelation
- And digital dreaming, which leads to abyss and loneliness.
