"Waking from a Nightmare" features an abstract and stylized depiction of myself, fragmented into several parts. This fragmentation reflects the feeling of instability and imbalance I experienced upon waking from a nightmare during a nap.
The surroundings around the figure contribute to this sensation with floating and distorted elements, adding a surreal touch. The dark tones and strong contrasts symbolize the intense emotions and discomfort I felt.
The image conveys my personal experience of emotional fragmentation and the sense of chaos that can arise after a disturbing experience during sleep.
