About this work

You see a dreamy landscape in this photo. It's not a real place, but a picture of a picture. The artist used images from cheap shops to create this scene, which is a bit strange and magical. This mix of real and fake is what makes it interesting - it's like a puzzle. The artist wants us to think about how we remember things, and how that can be different for each person.
