Transcendence

This ethereal piece was inspired by a dream. Emma explains: "I often have nightmares and in particular a recurring dream of being chased in a dark forest. However the night before I started to create this painting, I dreamt that I was in the same forest, but I wasn’t being chased and I was no longer fearful as I have been so many times before. The nightmare changed into an enchanting dream which was very peaceful and I was surrounded by butterflies which were flying towards a bright light. I had a sense of relief as I woke up that I had not experienced the dark dream I’ve had so many times before, so I decided to create a vision of this."
