Candles are flickering.
In the dark, endless dreamscape, where do I find myself?
Through repeated acts of erasure and drawing, fragments of the subconscious gradually emerge on black paper. Dreams, memories, emotions, and desires are compressed into images shaped by the folding of time and space, where metamorphosis takes various forms.
