I was inspired to create this artwork by the concept of dreams and the surreal world which serves as a form of escapism from our reality. And also the fact that life is a lonely journey where loneliness is usually associated with sadness but I wanted to merge both these ideas and create a scene where a lone journey is personified with beautiful, surrealistic depth of colors of one’s dreams. And to depict that to make them come true one has to sometimes walk alone, but where the path isn’t dark and dull but rather full of light and joy.
