Weird dreams.
Random things.
All fragments.
I remember.
I forget.
So somber.

| Overview |
This triptych, inspired by The Garden of Earthly Delights and stained glass windows, serves as a visual archive of my dreams in their original form. While reworking certain scenes might help unravel the narratives, I chose to display the raw material, disconnected and obscure, to remain true to the dream state.
The objects and spaces within the work represent fragments of dreams, chosen for their symbolic significance. These randomly arranged elements are assigned different opacities based on their importance and frequency. The black text recedes into the translucent dark cobalt vellum, becoming visible only when examined under light.
To reinforce the concept of fragmentation and unintelligibility throughout the project, the title, Nocturnal Medley, is deconstructed into three parts engraved across the glass panels. The typeface, Thaumaturgy, exudes an aura of mystery in its eerie shape, further obfuscating the message.

When the triptych is closed, words are overlapped, shapes intersected, dreams veiled.
