Fantasy Incubus–Erotic dream
The ‘Fantasy Incubus’ collection is my in-depth rendering and explanation of the elements and colours in erotic dreams. Dreams are the hint and satisfaction of desires. The strong collision between erotic dreams and human desires allows dreamers to reach intracranial or even physiological orgasms. The unknown plot and characters in dreams are surprising, and dreamers can also be any characters.
Compared to completely restoring erotic dreams, this collection tends to capture individuals, such as an object or a creature. Dreams often appear in the form of fragments, so I try to supplement them with emotions and fantasies, which refer to various characters that often appear in my past erotic dream experiences and recreate them. Simple elements such as tentacles, Vagina and female breasts are the main elements I emphasize and combine them with Asian erotic art culture. Using multiple colours of collage and overlay to express complex levels and colour gradients, mainly using enamel, fabric design, bead embroidery, forming a dreamlike and bizarre effect, in order to create the diverse moist and delicate thoughts and stories under the desire and passion, depict some hidden but impossible fantasies, and turn abstract concepts and desires into concrete and visible images and object.
