THE SECOND LIFE OF MY SUBCONSCIOUSNESS
Pani Pawlosky
In this work, I share artworks which I experienced while traveling in the subconscious. It is an audiovisual adventure without a beginning and an end. Moments and scenes from memories of lucid dreams... By showing them, I feel like I am giving them a second life which might please your eyes.
