It will be Dreams

Ladies & gentlemen, I'm happy to share that I have begin work on a 2nd collection.

The first show "Black vs. White" was about structure, repeated prints and symmetry to say the least. It was slightly rushed becoz I was eager to publish it.

For the 2nd show, I will take my time. This time I want it to have a little more emotional appeal, and yes definitely colours beyond the monochrome.

I've been looking for inspiration to set a theme, and I tot it would be interesting to see how I interpret music and translate into art. So I've decided to use "Dreams", specifically the performance of the video I have attached. I also plan to use another performance as a secondary source, but will reveal later.

I think the best explanation for you to understand this song is through the lyrics. Hence:

Dreams

To have any man but to love only one

To wake with the moon and sleep with the sun

To be a sinner, a saint, a lover & friend

To know a beginning but never an end

To fly in the ocean, to swim in the skies

Believer in truth, defendant of lies

To be of purest love, the deepest pain

To be lost and found again and again and again

These are the dreams of an impossible princess (X2)

To know the power of wealth and poverty

To taste every moment and try everything

To be hailed as a hero, branded a fool

Believe in the sacred and break every rule

To give into pleasure with no boundaries

Living in chaos and harmony

To feel the touch of a man, a woman's caressed

To know the limits of torture and tenderness

These are the dreams of an impossible princess (X2)

Man and woman, boy and girl, They want to escape this world (X2)

Nothing's what it seems, living in your dreams

It's a way of dealin' with all the feelin'

Keep believing in dreams

It's a way of dealin' with all the feelin'

Keep believing in dreams
