Description

Lead by a mysterious question

Is it possible that when we were sleeping, something inside us had actually awakened?

“I dream very often and even looked for the meaning of the recurring dreams and found that those dreams relate to frustration or embarrassment. I wondered if it was possible that while we are sleeping, something inside us, such as our souls or our thoughts, become our dreams. It is interesting how we live in two different worlds — the awake world and the sleeping world” said Tongjit Torsuwan.

We probably cannot control our dreams but every element in the dream is connected to us. The Awakening, is the only piece in this collection in which a woman has her eyes open. It means she is awake and has wisdom. Meditation helps Tongjit to concentrate on her work but it still cannot stop her from having nightmares.

Surrealism is her style!

Pang Torsuwan is lover of surrealist art. Surrealism is a style in art and literature in which ideas, images, and objects are combined in a strange way, like in a dream. It aims to revolutionise the human experience. It balances a rational vision of life with one that asserts the power of the unconscious and dreams. The movement’s artists find magic and strange beauty in the unexpected and the uncanny, the disregarded and the unconventional. This is how Pang Torsuwan expresses her feeling that is full of emotions and dreams, and transfer it on her canvas!
