Read the visual story

Layla winds down in her room, encounters a flying whale, approaches a luminous portal and records the dream in a journal. The room fills with imagined light before she settles back to sleep.

Two things to bring back

A doorway. A page.

Some dreams leave a whole world behind.
Some leave just enough to draw.

Layla stands in her room beside a glowing violet spiral portal, surrounded by records, plants and a DJ console.

Layla draws a whale and a spiral in an open journal on her lap under warm lamplight.
03The page.A whale. A spiral. Enough to remember.
