A Love Story in the City of Dreams

2024 - in progress
She comes in a dream.
Familiar, but unknown. Different, but the same.
Every time — as if for the first time. And every time — the last.
This project explores cryptomnesia — a phenomenon in which memories are disguised as a new experience.
The image of “her” appears in dreams as a projection of past loves, pains, hopes.
Everything seems real, although it is only an unconscious repetition of what has already happened.
History repeats itself not in reality — in the psyche.
Love, which seems new every time — is actually just an echo of previous stories.
The series works on the border between memory and delusion, between the unconscious and the fictional.
This is not a love story — it is its phantom,
an imprint in a dream, where feelings are stronger than facts.
And the main question remains the same:
What if this love is just a memory, born from a dream, but so repetitive that it seems real to you? An image that never existed, but which was formed from faces seen once out of the corner of your eye. And you wake up again with her name in your head, convinced that she once existed. This is how cryptomnesia works - it steals fragments from life and creates a phantom. And you continue to love the dream, considering it the past.
