Hélène Cardona's "Dreaming My Animal Selves: Le Songe de Mes Ames Animales" invites us on an oneiric journey alongside mythical creatures, numinous animals and seductive flora. Its patterns —wavelike, labyrinthine or concentric— seem to act as portals allowing us to "step out of time" into a light-infused, watery landscape where ancestors and pieces of self are re-membered. Hélène Cardona weaves words like one casts a spell. Unforgettable.
