Don’t Run emerges from a recurring lucid dream in which fear and stillness collide. Set within a dark forest, the painting captures the moment pursuit loses its power, when fear dissolves not through escape, but through recognition and stillness.
Part of the Dream Series, this work explores psychological landscapes shaped by instinct, memory, and subconscious awareness, spaces where danger lingers until it is finally faced.
The dream behind this piece unfolds in a forest where I am running in place, chased by a faceless figure who feeds on fear. When lucidity arrives, I stop. I sit. I wait. What once hunted me loses its power.
A longer reflection on the dream can be read here.
