Dreamhouse, 120x100cm, Zvonimir Haramija

Dreamhouse depicts a moment of separation, in which two people leave a shared home and walk away in different directions. The house becomes a symbol of their shared life, intimacy, and the memories they leave behind. Their departure marks not only the end of a relationship, but also the beginning of two separate paths.

The black background creates a sense of silence, emptiness, and emotional weight, while the forms are constructed through varying shades of grey, ranging from almost white to deep dark grey. This restrained palette evokes the aesthetic of black-and-white photography and film, bringing a sense of nostalgia and memories of a distant past. The contrast between light and darkness further emphasizes the emotional tension of the scene, while the simplified forms leave space for the viewer to connect the image with their own experiences of loss, separation, and change.

Dreamhouse therefore speaks not only about the end of a relationship, but also about the way shared spaces and memories can remain with us even after people choose different paths.
