This image represents our dreams and desires, that we don’t always let others know about but we all have. It’s a lascivious image that hints at the dreams, which, at times, can be dark and the masks we wear, and our hidden subconscious that inhabits our desires. It’s about the dark side that everyone has but rarely shares. It is about a mask being worn; that of the subconscious mind, that is being suppressed and at night is freed. This character, longs for this state of mind where he/she can think whatever they like without consequences and however surreal the situations may be. However, there is a poison door, one which you cannot escape from and which will haunt you if you open it.
