Gradually someone appeared above me... and asked me:

What is your name?

I thought:

"The answer will wake me up."

Instead, I answered.

I threw my head back and laughed, as if giving up the need to remain aware.

Then I woke up.

Or at least I thought I did.

False awakening is a state in which a person believes they have awakened, while still remaining inside the dream.

Each awakening feels final, yet every new layer reveals itself as another illusion. Reality becomes almost indistinguishable from sleep, and certainty disappears without ever announcing its absence.

Through multiple exposure and redscale film, this series explores that fragile moment when perception loses its anchor. Images overlap, time collapses, and familiar spaces become unreliable.

Rather than documenting dreams, the project attempts to recreate the feeling of inhabiting one—a place where awakening itself may be only another dream.
