The One I Know

 

The One I Know-meaning images that only I know-uses photography to bring the photographer’s dream world into the real world. By constructing and photographing dream scenes, the project transforms remembered dream images into tangible “real images” that can be seen, held, and revisited. Through this process, the photographer delves into memory, recreates moments in depth, and turns self-reflection into art. The work also explores how images can reflect the subconscious, and invites viewers to consider the relationship between memory, dreams, and photography.
