The Thief of Dreams

This is an ongoing project that started by accident. I used to frequently suffer from bouts
of sleeplessness, partly due to chronic pain. By night, I'd be restless, and by day, I’m often narcoleptic due to lack of sleep from the night before, and this creates a vicious cycle of pain, anxiety and sleeplessness.

One night, I felt compelled to take some photos of the things I see in the still of the night, as I search for sleep. I started shooting more whenever I felt insomnia, and by doing so, had found the experience therapeutic in helping me relax. As I expanded the project to the daytime, it started making me notice things I found resonance with my state of mind, and would otherwise go unnoticed.
