    Their little faces

The bedroom is a room dedicated to sleep. During our sleep, we dream. Dreams do not take into account consistency, common sense or a linear timeline because they have no concept of time. Through these self-portraits, I wish to raise the importance and the necessity of dreaming. The harsh reality of life and the standards imposed by our Society are among the driving factors. Dreaming is the only act that gives us access to the most intimate and the most hidden part of our being, and frees us from the constraints of Society. In seeking to give importance to our dreams, it's as if we allow ourselves to live and exist in another reality without social masks. In dreaming, we let our imagination run free. In helping us to look at the world in a state of wonder. It enables us to love it and believe in it. Dreams have no censorship, they are as vast as our imagination...
