We Live Inside a Dream is a visual exploration of liminality, the in-between states of life and death, consciousness and unconsciousness, certainty and the unknown. The work draws on liminality as a threshold state, an unstable yet generative phase where transformation becomes possible, where structures dissolve and new meanings begin to emerge.
The project originated as a personal response to my mother’s prolonged hospitalization and medically induced coma in 2021. Her recollections from that period, fragmented, dream-like narratives suspended between memory and imagination, resonated with descriptions of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) as described in transpersonal psychology and consciousness studies. Situated between scientific observation and subjective perception, these accounts opened a space for questioning what it means to exist in-between.
Liminality is approached not as a passage to be resolved, but as a state of becoming. The work reflects on transition, loss, and the invisible forces that shape our perception, proposing the unknown not as something to be feared, but as a condition through which transformation and reconnection can occur.
