The Wrinkles of My Dreams

The Wrinkles of My Dreams, looks at the emotional landscape of sleep through morning photographs of the folds and imprints left behind on my bed. Each photo acts like a map, capturing the traces of dreams and the feelings that surfaced overnight. Over three months, these wrinkles became a kind of diary — shifting between joy, tension, sadness, or calm — reflecting how our minds process emotions, stress, and memories during REM sleep. I used generative AI to overlay thermal maps onto the images, with colors showing the intensity of dream activity. This added a layer of psychological insight, turning the invisible emotions of the night into something we can actually see.
