Into Your Dreams



Artist: Melissa Humphries

A.K.A.: Spiralfly

Country: United States

Type of Art: Photo Manipulation

Limelight Content:
     The above art piece is a good example of how a monochromatic art interplays with the viewer's imagination. It definitely has the characteristic of a good monochromatic type of art - to emphasize details despite its monochrome feature. The entire elements were done perfectly in a manner wherein each of the elements has its own unique way of presenting itself  to its spectators and, at the same time, perfectly blends in with the rest of the elements in order to create a masterpiece that would give spectators the desire of spending much of their time in viewing and deciphering every intricate details that this art has to offer. 
     What's also amazing with this art is the ability of the artist to gamble with "out of focus" elements. One would notice that not all of the characters have been given the opportunity of taking the "center stage" and yet, it still turns out that the entire characters/elements earn enough spotlight for them to be recognized by the audience.    
     The relationship of elements supplies the introduction of hidden ideas and queries like "How the vessel of this story works?"; "Where  it'll be heading to?; and "What would be the type of ending this story gives?".   
     As an overall assessment, "Into Your Dreams" is a genuine art that shows multiple variations despite having only a single hue. 

Beyond the Usual:
     "Into Your Dreams" gives us the idea of how diverse and borderless our dreams are as oppose to its counterpart - the reality. This piece simply illustrates the majesty, mystery, and the wonderful characteristics of every dream. Power, superhuman capabilities, incredible strengths and awesome adventures are just some of the many illusionary qualities that a dream may offer. And in general, dreams may sometimes give us a feeling of relief because we find ourselves seeking for refuge underneath the dream's wonderful shelter every time we find our reality so confusing. But, at the end of the day, this wonderful piece (Into Your Dreams) serves to reminds us that the world of make-believe  constantly comes and constantly goes giving us enough opportunity to enjoy every bit of moment that a reality has to offer. 
     In conclusion, we may tend to diverge from reality in order for us to enjoy the benefit of a dream in times of dilemma. But, we also have to remember that the magnificent and magical world of dream won't exist as long as the platform of reality is still around.
