The master’s thesis, Illustration as a Reflection of Parallel Worlds, examines the relationship between artistic expression and internal psychological states. It focuses on a series of illustrations inspired by dreams and personal experiences, exploring the concept of parallel worlds within psychology, philosophy, and mythology.

Each illustration serves as an independent visual narrative that conveys emotional and symbolic depth, while handcrafted frames add a unique dimension to the overall artistic experience. Special emphasis is placed on the role of visual art as a medium for depicting the unconscious and the complexity of the human mind.

The aim of this thesis is to explore the potential of illustration as a means of artistically representing the unconscious, highlighting how this form of expression can open new perspectives on the psychological, philosophical, and mythological aspects of human experience.
