Dysmorphic Dream

The artwork Dysmorphic Dream depicts the reflection of a character’s face in a mirror. The background is composed of clouds drifting across a vibrant blue sky, creating an atmosphere that is at once dreamlike, surreal, and ever-changing. This landscape contrasts with the character’s concealed distress, as they attempt to escape their own reflection. The evasive gaze and contemplative expression become lost in the dream of becoming someone else. The substance flowing from the figure, both absurd and mysterious, evokes the desire for change and transformation that inhabits them. This work invites reflection on the dysmorphic relationship with the body, often characterized by excessive preoccupation, repetitive behaviours, and heightened distress.
