Japan-based artist Shibata Ayumi designs intricate landscapes using layers of white paper. Some of her sculptures are miniature, whereas others are large-scale art installations, and all are brought to life with the play of light and shadow. The works feature architectural domes, cave-like forests, and swirling suns hovering over tree-filled cities. These picturesque places aren’t based on a particular location but what the artist hopes and believes the future of the planet could look like.

Shibata’s ethereal landscapes envision a world in which humans and natural forms coexist, and she describes her pieces as having a Yin and Yang element. Paper represents Yin, the material, and the ways the works emit shadows correlates to Yang, the invisible world. “The light represents spirit and life, how the sun rises and breathes life into the world. I believe my pieces are a place to observe the material world and the visible one.” - Ayumi Shibata

Le Souffleur de rêves - 2021 Graduation Film / Film de fin d'études 2021

Le Souffleur de Rêves raconte l'histoire de Gustave, un jeune faiseur de rêves passionné en plein apprentissage de son art. Il est responsable des rêves et des cauchemars que les gens font. Conscient que personne n'aime faire de cauchemars, il les emprisonne jusqu'au jour où l'un d'eux tente de s'échapper. Lors de la confrontation, Gustave est propulsé dans le Royaume de la nuit, où il se doit d'affronter sa plus grande peur.

Le Souffleur de Rêves follows the story of Gustave, a passionate dream maker who is still learning the ropes to his job. He is responsible for the dreams and nightmares of lots of people around his region, but he knows very well that nobody likes having nightmares, so he tries to lock them up. Everything takes a turn for the worst when one of the nightmares tries to escape his workshop and in the confrontation it transports Gustave to the nightmare realm, where he is forced to confront his biggest fear
