Are dreams the reflections of reality? What are their effects on reality? Could one become a reality? What is it about them which leaves such lingering impact?
Do we all live in an unrealized dream? We sure can wake up from one to reality but is the other way around possible; waking up from the reality into a dream?
In my ongoing series "A Borderland of Dream and Reality", I'd like to challenge the notions of dreams and reality in a photographic-poetic narrative with the hope of uncovering the fascinating, yet hidden stories of human in pursuit of the ultimate search for true pleasure.
All pictures are intentionally printed in paper first and the leaves are applied to them later on; Then they are photographed for the final presentation.
The grainy images represent the ambiguous line between reality and dreams with the natural leaves as symbols of true and organic emotions.
