Between Reality and Dream

by Egor Guschin

“I am an visual artist exploring the boundaries between dreams and reality, focusing on surrealism and multi-exposure photography. My submission 'Between Reality and Dream' is a visual journey through the subconscious, using analog photography techniques and double exposure. The work juxtaposes human forms and dreamlike elements, symbolizing the fluid nature of memory and the dream state.“
