“I am a Dreamer” is a project started in 2018 and still in progress, it is a conceptual series of surreal portraits interpreted in an ironic key and inspired by adolescence.
Adolescence is a crucial time when the identities are being challenged where young people spend time with their reflection and accept their appearance. As society impose to grow with the brain in box, or forces us to wear masks,express fear. We often grow up and educate our children according to the preconceptions that are imposed on us by mass media and society, while the most important thing is to teach them to be free.
