Over twenty years ago, I realized: life isn't merely the sum of our experiences, but rather the curated collection of what we choose to remember. Among these chosen memories, one stands out with particular clarity: a dream I had. For about a month, it recurred with unwavering consistency, an identical
scene playing out each night. Then, as abruptly as it began, it ceased. Yet, like the lingering afterimage of a candle flame against the dark, the dream's presence persisted. All my dreams unfold as vivid, clear narratives — sometimes unsettling, but never frightening. This particular dream, like all the others, followed a distinct story. Over the past several years, I've embarked on a unique project: using my camera to recreate those dream memories as closely as possible.

It's a journey to bridge the gap between the elusive world of dreams and the tangible reality captured through a lens.
