When I started to think of what I wanted to tell with this piece I knew I had to go through what “dreaming” means to me. The first image that came across my mind was me as a young girl, laying in my bed. When I was scared, upset, angry or simply bored, all I had to do was closing my eyes and let my imagination run… I could literally spend the whole afternoon living so many different lives. All I needed was right there …in my head.
That was the key for my concept.
I wanted my cake to tell about what dreams are really about : they are a chance. A chance for us to hope for better things to come…an open door.
For this piece I used modelling fondant, isomalt and airbrushing: the sleeping girl, naked, cowering in the fetal position, has been modelled completely by hand. She is connected by golden wires to the moon little girl who’s a projection of our inner child: her eyes are still as full of colours as the eyes of children should be. She’s begging us, writing with her bare hands, not to give up on our dreams, not to let that very part die. I choose for her a moon textured skin and I wanted her to look as if she was made of what the sky is. The scene takes place on big clock with no hands to symbolize how meaningless time is comparing to our dreams.
No matter how life can get in the way we should always keep that little place in our heart where everything is possible somehow …that place where we can be ourselves or even more, where we feel invincibile and safe from arm.
If you just listen closely that’s what you’ll hear: “keep on dreaming”
