Conscious and unconscious, collective unconscious, dream work, free association, incubation, amplification… These terms are seemingly different to understand for the general public who do not have a background in psychoanalysis. The psychoanalytic dream interpretation just works like the progress of expressive art making to a certain extent.

In this work, I explored how to transfer these terminologies into artistic practices. Colors, patterns, movement and contours, intuitively incorporated into painting on canvas, collage, projecting light, and eventually combined into a set of installations to display these dream concepts. The audience were allowed to under- stand these complicated concepts with their innate feelings and sensation, instead of reading a brunch of research papers.
