The line (door) between what the mind perceives to be the "real world", (the state in which we call ourselves "awake,") and the dream world, (sleep and "unconscious") is very thin.
The woman in the picture is in a night gown, mimicking the transition between the two, coming from the left side (day) into the right side of the image, (night). The smoke blowing out of her mouth is to symbolise the thin veil we enter when we actually loose ourselves into the "subconscious" (sleep).
I chose not to make the left side of the door much different from the right, as I'm not quite sure there is in fact much of a dissimilarity at all...one side might be mirroring the other, or, the dream state might be the "conscious" one, after all...Who knows, we might all be dreamers having a human experience...going home every night...
Technically, we drove all the way to the top of the mountain with the (very heavy...puh...) door in the back of the car. We carried it until we found the perfect spot...
My intention is personal, and might be far from what you see yourselves, if there is much to be interpreted at all...
Peace <3

ReplyDeleteKisses, Lis.
Da jeg først så på dette her om dagen, var det så varmt at jeg assosierte bildet med han som hadde 7 somre og 7 vintre i kroppen, og jeg tenkte her jeg svettet at jeg gjerne skulle hatt den "egenskapen".
ReplyDeleteMen når jeg ser det igjen nå, så er det vel kanskje ikke det du ønsket å formidle... uansett,- et underfundig arbeid som alltid, Lis!
Ha en flott ny uke etterhvert:)
your world is a magic world Liz ! great inspiration and a wonderful work !
ReplyDeleteI love what you imagine and the way you do it ! gorgeous
Hmmm, här måste jag/vi få ur oss något, samtidigt som vi varken vet om vi vill gå in eller ut...här känner jag ett väldigt sökande...ett sökande efter vad?
ReplyDeleteJag ser, jag tar till mig...men jag hittar inte riktigt...led mig, visa mig vägen...?!
Hmmm, er det sånn det foregår :)
ReplyDeleteDøren forvirrer meg, men er et stilig element i bildet. Skulle gjerne sett sommeren på den andre siden av døra, hehe. Tenk å kunne spasere rett fra den kalde vinteren, inn i den varme og lyse sommeren! Det var en tanke som datt inn i mitt hode akkurat nå. Flott utført uansett hva som er tanken bak!
