Overall view, back; Dream World is a bronze sculpture that was cast from a mold taken from a wood sculpture. According to the artist, "The title of the sculpture is a reference to an imaginary world that exists in our subconscious...The flattened disc is used to convey the idea of the illusive, ethereal world of the subconscious that has unlimited potential. The figure in Dream World does not have a specific identity and is used as a fulcrum which balances and juxtaposes the two states of consciousness that contrast and balance within us."
