I intended to convey the visual experience of an exceptional state I have experienced through a phenomenon associated with falling asleep, namely Isakower Phenomenon. It is an encounter with pure paradox, the transcendent moment before one identifies the world of things. The sequel-vision after the cognition stage is not seeing but recognizing objects. My work is an attempt to present the world as raw object as if an infant would purely see: as I have seen the world through Isakower Phenomenon.
