Spanish photographer Antonio Mora has created an extraordinary project in which portraits are intricately intertwined with mystical landscapes. The resulting collages are amazing: the elements are chosen so precisely that the viewer almost ceases to distinguish between the boundaries of different images.
The series called Dream Portraits (which can be translated as “Mystical Portraits”) is a striking combination of monochrome images, forming a kind of new dimension in which the merging of different lines and shapes is no longer so obvious. The viewer seems to be dreaming: beautiful and unsteady faces appear in the branches of trees, are seen through the fog, and then disappear into a mysterious forest …
Subsequent digital processing of images should, according to the author's idea, give the viewer a feeling of belonging to a certain secret. “These images,” says Mora, “should open the door to our collective memory. This will allow us to see the amazing creatures that inhabit our deepest dreams."
To feel like a part of such a dream, Mora offers an interesting service on her website: it is enough to send a photo and a short essay about yourself, and in a few days a talented photo artist will send your photo in an interesting author's processing.
