Lost in Reverie by Victionary

As adults in a fast-paced world, finding the time to slow down and enjoy the little things in life can be challenging. Even the simple act of daydreaming or getting lost in one’s imagination has become a luxury that many can no longer afford. However, it is important that we allow our minds to wander fearlessly into the unknown and float freely into the unexpected—whether in awake or asleep—for in mastering the art of doing nothing, we can immerse ourselves in the pure joy of just being alive.

LOST IN REVERIE sets out to capture the magic and mystique of dreamscapes, from the comforting to the unsettling and everything else in between. The book will comprise art and illustration featuring intriguing concepts and styles that explore the realms between the real and surreal; becoming a means of escape from the dreariness of everyday and a beautiful reminder to never stop dreaming.
