An Escape to the imaginary world


The expression "escape to the imaginary world" refers to a conceptual realm that we build for ourself where we can explore different realities and go on mystical adventures. In this work, the doors, windows, and portals as metaphorical entryways to the imaginary world, where mystery and intrigue coexist, in artistic explorations. These components function as both visual themes and portals by means of which the mysterious settings and stories beyond imagination are revealed to the audience, as viewers may see the cryptic landscapes and storylines that lay beyond.

This art aims to fascinate and take viewers to a place where the borders of vision are flexible and filled with unlimited possibilities. I've integrated reality into every piece, utilizing the physical environment around me. But hidden inside the intricate pattern is a delicate trigger, that serves as the portal to an otherworld. When turned on, it takes the audience out of the real world and into a realm of pure imagination, where fantasies come to life and daydreams take flight. The contrast of reality and imagination creates an immersive experience, allowing for escape from daily limits and exploration of the mind's limitless perspectives.
