Once I had this wonderful, fairy tale-like dream.
Somewhere in the forest, I found a girl. No matter where her feet took her, she always carried two things: a large blanket and the night. A bubble of eternal night.

For this piece, I decided to experiment a bit with my technique. With gouache I painted plants, flowers, trees and color patches on paper. I scanned these in and assembled then into a digital collage. Fragmented drawings that, once put together, make sense. Just like my dreams.
