The exhibition will feature small sculptures made of plaster, wood, bronze and plastic. Since ancient times, people have paid attention to the fact of dreams and tried to determine their nature. Dreams reveal the possibility of perception of other worlds. A man can describe these worlds, but is not able to describe what allows him to perceive them. And at the same time experience how dreaming affects other realms of being. Dreaming is a sensation, a process occurring in the body, and an awareness arising in the mind.

The imagery system of dreams is multilayered. The deep layer goes into the archetypes: The Shadow, the Anima and the Anmus, which personify the feminine and the masculine, and the Self - which rush to reveal all the hidden corners of the human soul. Some have a childlike soul, some have an archaic soul with an admixture of ancient images, some want to escape into the realm of space, into the milky way of the future, and some hurry to escape from their familiar reality.

"The exhibition appeals to the imagination and the senses, opening up new facets of consciousness and knowledge. Artists do not think in patterns, they are used to feeling, drawing inspiration from dreams and imagination. The world is so complex, but at the same time it is incredibly simple. Simple enough to burst into the souls of everyone who opens his heart to everything new.

What kind of dreams do you have? Will the cloud of dreams carry you away into your fairytale world of illusions?
