/ Overview
  • “STOP DREAMING” is a wake-up call masquerading as a pop-culture hallucination. In a world that romanticizes escapism, this piece dares to scream: face it, not fake it. With chaotic visuals and clashing symbols, it ridicules glossy illusions while revealing the grit beneath.

    Each detail is a punchline with teeth. Dreams here aren’t sweet—they’re dangerous, delusional, destructive. The familiar cartoonish charm is corrupted, unsettling, and unforgettable. It’s as if the dream factory broke down—and what’s left is truth, raw and pixelated.

    This work isn’t anti-dream. It’s anti-lie. “STOP DREAMING” confronts the comfort narratives we’re sold and slashes through them with irony, grit, and defiant honesty. It dares you to wake up—not gently, but with a jolt.
