It explores the uncanny sensation that drapes our dreams, filled with people, places, and memories that feel intimate and familiar… but just a bit off. Daybreak invites us to examine this “looking glass” effect and the unsettling recognition that this mentalscape is not our proper plane of existence. It conjures the relief, fear, and sometimes sadness that comes at the moment of reckoning when we realize the world in which we reside, if only temporary, is about to fade full force into reality.
By the light of a new morning, a structure rises through the mist of a mountain range on a distant world.
