Dreams Carry Maps The Stars Forgot
24" × 18"
Oil on Aluminum
2025
Part of the Oracles collection.
A solitary figure gazes beyond the edge of the composition while a single ivy leaf hovers above her head. Suspended between portrait and symbol, the painting evokes a state of quiet contemplation. The figure's attention appears fixed on something unseen, while the leaf introduces a subtle narrative of change, memory, and movement through time. Together, these elements create an image that feels less concerned with external reality than with the internal landscapes through which identity is formed.
Created as part of the Oracles series, the painting explores the forces that shape personal transformation. Throughout the collection, natural forms serve as symbolic counterparts to human experience. Here, the leaf functions as a marker of cycles, growth, and impermanence. Detached from the tree yet retaining its form and beauty, it becomes a symbol of journeys that continue long after their point of origin has disappeared from view. The portrait beneath it suggests a person navigating those unseen paths, guided as much by intuition and memory as by reason or certainty.
Dreams Carry Maps The Stars Forgot reflects on the idea that not all guidance arrives through logic or deliberate planning. Dreams, intuition, memory, and imagination often reveal directions that cannot be fully articulated yet remain deeply influential. The painting suggests that transformation frequently emerges through these quieter forms of knowing. Through restraint and symbolism, the work considers how individuals navigate uncertainty, carrying within themselves maps that cannot be found in the external world but nonetheless lead them toward becoming.
