Cake tunnel (2026) Original Watercolour by Andromachi Giannopoulou

Watercolor and ballpoint painting
In this hypnagogic hallucination I cut a piece of a ceremonial cake and I saw a tunnel in the rest of it. The tunnel was so bright I could not see inside of it.

Part of the collection “hypnagogia”

Hypnagogia is the transitional state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. During hypnagogia, it's common to experience involuntary and imagined experiences.
Actual body senses, sounds, conversations, images that appear (rush), just when I fall sleep. I had it since I was a child, I noticed it at the age of 23, and I recently found that there is a term for that experience. I perceive it as a third state of existence (after dreaming), extremely unique, and with a strong sense of delicate equilibrium.
