The Dream Melt is a meditation on emotional release and the way our experiences shape and enrich us over time. Tears of every kind—born from grief, joy, longing, or relief—become transformative, flowing through the body and giving form to who we are. In this piece, emotion is not something hidden or restrained; it is allowed to move freely, molding the figure itself into something luminous and whole.
Painted in water-soluble oils, the cascading rainbow forms feel fluid and cathartic, as though the body is being shaped by the very act of feeling. The tentacled crown resting atop her head serves as a symbol of awareness and power—an echo of the octopus, a creature known for intelligence, adaptability, and emotional depth. Here, the crown suggests mastery rather than chaos: she is not overwhelmed by her emotions, but enriched by them, holding them as part of her essence.
Available as an open edition fine art print in multiple paper types and sizes, The Dream Melt may also be ordered with custom framing, allowing the piece to be tailored to your space. It offers a gentle yet powerful presence—one that honors vulnerability, emotional truth, and the beauty found in fully feeling.
