Dreams of Series

Overview
Dreams of Series is a collection of large-scale digital collages that reimagine places deeply tied to my life. Each piece begins with hundreds of AI-generated images—objects, foods, landscapes, architecture, symbols—that reflect both personal experience and cultural identity. These elements are layered into dense dreamscapes where familiar landmarks intertwine with intimate details of everyday life.

Dreams of Reno

This work is a tribute to the Reno-Tahoe region—its desert expanses, wild horses, gaming culture, snowboarding terrain, trout streams, and hot-air balloons. Composed of two large-format paintings (11 × 4 ft each), one remains intact while the other has been divided into 48 fragments—each fragment intended as an individual piece. The process invites viewers to reconsider how place, people, and community give meaning, warmth, and life to a landscape.

Dreams of San Francisco

Dreams of San Francisco is a digital collage built from AI-generated imagery. It captures the layered spirit of the city—fog and light, innovation and nostalgia, grit and grace—through my personal lens as someone who once lived and worked there.

Dreams of Switzerland

Created from layers of AI imagery, Dreams of Switzerland blends alpine peaks, medieval towns, fondue pots, mountain trains, and carnival masks into a collage that speaks to both iconography and intimacy. Drawing on my dual U.S./Swiss citizenship and my family’s multi-generational ties to Switzerland, this piece is more than a portrait of place—it is a dreamscape of belonging, where cultural symbols and lived experience overlap in memory and imagination.

Dreams of Switzerland

By combining human narrative with AI-driven generation, the Dreams of Series navigates the terrain between memory and imagination, documentary and dream. The works invite viewers to explore how place is not just geography but a tapestry of stories, symbols, and sensations carried with us—and how emerging tools can reshape how we visualize identity, connection, and home.
