“I rarely take naps, I drink too much caffeine and the feeling of lying in bed in the middle of the day is usually just a magnification of the vague feelings of overstimulation. On the rare occasion that I have, I think sleep feels different in the daytime, that sort of liminal weirdness of being between waking and sleeping was the thing I wanted to get into this drawing.”
Pretty accurate, @miles_art! Who can relate?!

“The person you recognize as yourself exists only for you. No one around you knows you as you see yourself. Every person you know has a different idea of you.”
@sergeyfett approaches his medium with a very conceptual perspective and a strong dedication to carefully curated compositions. Sergey shares on his website: “My work is inextricably linked with the way I see the world and myself in it. Photography is my way of seeing the ideal in the ordinary. I strive to create calm images with a sense of rigor and order in terms of visual representation. My work intentionally rarely shows a face, as I want the viewer to understand that there could be anyone behind the image.”

@toshiyuki_enoki’s dreamlike portraits combine the beauty of texture, floral patterns, and figurative paintings. The painting ‘Swirling Thoughts’ is part of a series that displays females in a contemplative state with a notebook: The subjects become one with the background, edges become indifferent - the body dissolves in the realm of thoughts.

"Each year, thousands of people die crossing a border in search of a better life, either fleeing from a dangerous situation or seeking financial security for their families. In 2020, a photo emerged of the lifeless bodies of a father and his toddler daughter, drowned crossing the Rio Grande from Mexico, the United States.
Their tragic end was a reminder of the risks migrants face on their journeys across political borders, a reminder that was swiftly forgotten. 'The Crossing' is a memorial to those who have lost their lives searching for sanctuary, of those who have perished because of feudal immigration laws made by those who have benefited most from exploitative systems.
The skulls are engraved in delft blue and white, each of different size in reference to a parent and child. The engravings on the larger skull reveal imagery of ignorant and stereotypical views of immigrants, depicting violence and criminality, and the border wall between the US and Mexico. The engravings on the smaller skull reveal imagery of childish innocence and reference the migrant detention centers of the U.S. where children are separated from their families."

@smeccea creates motion-design-magic in pastel. The artist’s work “often examines abstract ideas, spirituality, and self-discovery. She grounds her work based on careful introspection.”
This spiritual and chilled vibe is infectious, don’t you think?

Photographer @nicholas.fols featuring the couture by @irisvanherpen - a dreamteam!
And let’s not forget about the stunning scenery that enhances the nature of the designs. Iris van Herpen explains: “Encircling the natural cathedrals, the Dolomite Mountains ~ the interconnected craftsmanship and layered anatomy of the looks pay homage to the anima mundi, the world as one living body. The magnificent environment around us nurturing an intrinsic connection between all living things on the planet, similar to the way the soul is connected to our bodies.”
