DAY DREAMING

Day Dreaming is a book prototype that invites readers into the imaginative world of collage and mixed media art. Created for those who wish to explore the depth, texture, and storytelling power of collage techniques, the project combines both educational and artistic value.

The cover illustration, handcrafted by me using mixed media, visually reflects the book’s essence—layered, spontaneous, and dreamlike. Through torn textures, found imagery, and organic compositions, I aimed to capture the fluid connection between thought and creation, turning the cover itself into a continuation of the book’s narrative.
