About the artwork:
“Like a messenger of dreams and wonder, I imagine a guardian that comes in the night and takes us to places where we want to be. The lady of the night personifies the pockets of magic throughout our dreams. She is a friend who leaves a trail of color behind her. And just like the night, she only lingers in a short time until dawn comes. I have this fascination for the night, a time usually devoid of color, yet I feel that the most magical things happen during this time.”
