At the margins of the American West, where light overwhelms and dissolves reality, the series Daydreams occupies that elusive threshold where the real slips imperceptibly into the imaginary. Set against the iconic landscapes of Joshua Tree and Palm Springs, each scene recalls a postcard vision of America evocative, nostalgic, yet suspended like a memory long left dormant.

« Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only at night. »
Edgar Allan Poe

Into these familiar yet uncanny settings step enigmatic figures, spectral presences that feel at once intimate and distant, as though drawn from the recesses of the subconscious and fixed upon the photographic surface. Meticulously staged tableaux, infused with surrealist undertones, disrupt the apparent stillness of a deserted motel or the silent expanse of a sun-scorched desert where the wind animates the void.

Daydreams navigates the delicate border between collective memory and private reverie, offering viewers not a definitive narrative but the suggestion of one emerging subtly between layers of ambiguity, in the interplay between quiet absurdity and a gaze attuned to the fragility of both place and character.

In this body of work, the image transcends mere documentation, becoming a site of invention and disorientation, while continuing to resonate with the shared imagination of an idealized California timeless, dreamlike, and profoundly personal.
