The fish nightmare

The image is a visual representation of chaos, the absence of control and the sense of fear that can generate. A spiral of chaotic images that represent what can happen during dreaming. We can feel the most obscure feelings and sensations and at the same time or suddenly switching to pure joy and wonder. Dreaming it’s one of the most powerful state for human beings (and for all living creatures in different ways) and, although our way of life is somehow neglecting it, since the dawn of time has been considered like a central and crucial experience for living being.
