Reality is colorless with its grey sky, grey buildings, grey outerwear on the passersby.
Events that happen very seldom are neutral. They are neither good nor bad, they have no color.
Major part of life passes in a dream. Falling into a reverie doesn’t always mean wasting the time though. Inexplicable representations that would never appear in a real world may be born in a dreamland. Those bright, unearthly, magnetic illusions attract, inspire, seduce and reject. They make up for lack of impressions with themselves and become so tangible that you may feel a temptation to stay with them forever.
This series is about it. It is how the person with a help of bright colors, warm tones and symbolic objects tries to transfigure his cold and shabby everyday live, every time deeper and deeper plunging into illusions and more and more losing touch with the reality.
