IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


Laurie, your heart has gone away from mine for a long time now, but you're still
here, in my mind, in my dreams. I wanted to hide your picture, , but your sweet
smile is still there... I don't know if this can be true, I still not believe
it, I'm still in love with you, and I still feel your sweet presence there, so
close to me, however so far. How can it be true?
Is it a bad dream, or a sad reality? I only want to stay in this dream where our
story is still going on, don't wake me from this dream. Never do it, please.
I'll reach the next day only to dream of you one more time. Don't wake me from
it.
Let me continuing our story, even if I have to do it alone. Let me do it
forever... with you.

Sometimes, it's better to live in an illusion, just to escape from a sad
reality. Everyone has his own world, just an illusion because the reality is
too sad, too bad. It's very subjective, and I wanted to show that the vision of
our world comes from our memory, our feelings. This is the world where you can
be alone, far from the reality, near what you like.
This world reflects your dreams, your hopes. And this image? Maybe it's my
reality, maybe one of my dreams, maybe just a story from my mind...


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


CSG and a Poser model (Victoria I, and standard clothes)posed by me.
Furniture and mirror inspiration is from a catalogue of IKEA (a furniture shop) 
IKEA 1993, p.124 .
Floor texture and sky tex (even if it's hard to see them), were taken on
3dcafe.org. Wall texture is from corel draw.
I imagined the lamps one night, before going to sleep... now, i just want them
at home. :-)
I wanted to have a small town on the piece of furniture, but when I made the
mirror, I had this idea.
On the left of the ring, there's a letter, and on the left of this letter,
there's a down-turned picture. A letter for the remaining love, a ring on the
table for the ended story, a turned-down picture to forget...
