Proposal
The Dream is a digital artwork created freehand using Procreate on the iPad. Made using a stylized version of semi-realism, it works with such principles of design as scale, space, balance, movement, pattern, and emphasis. The image is meant to convey a sense of looseness, to recreate the sensation of a dream, not unlike one where the dreamer is falling, only to wake up before they hit the ground. The ethereal lighting, the endless buildings, and the man suspended in mid-air all work to evoke this exploration of disorientation and a lack of control. The drawing is meant to make the viewer ponder the nature of control within the recesses of their mind, and to consider in whom or in what they put their trust.
