The Dreamer in Wonderland  depicts the figure of an impassive lady, which contrasts strikingly with the vividly feathered tropical migratory birds above. The composition simultaneously conveys a juxtaposition of solitude and delight.

Five Acts Outside The Mirror

“Look, this is the Indian Ocean. The sun sprinkles golden powder on her turquoise skin to show you the way home.” The cruise ship horn bellows.

The kingfisher rejoices, shrilling “CHI-KEEEEEE”, fluttering about the garden.

“Welcome back. This is the biggest red rose in Bulgaria. You can see her a thousand miles away. She marks home in the atlas.” The rose goes even redder. The waxwing drops his berry in the beak, flies over to kiss the rose.

The owl on the pine tree all through the grey Canadian winter is still counting days. Covered in snow, he stops the counting at the sight. “I’ll play the game with you again. Sit with me.” Relieved, the noisy blue jay races towards his old prey.

“Utter a love word and I’ll flare a spark on your lips.” The hummingbird dances about in his flowery garden, flirting the demure white tulip and the lady smock. His crimson zinnia back home is fading, still waiting for his touch.

The old banana tree is too old to hold. His hair loosened, backbone cracked. The scorching sun spares the old man by taking a brief vocation. The magnificent greater bird-of-paradise comes back to see his last face. The banana tree grins, wrinkles gone.
