Surrealist Dream Journey, Sofia Tacchini

Medium: Digital

“This collage was created as part of the ‘Dream Collage’ assignment, which asked us to design a visual representation of a dream. For my project, I chose to explore a very personal dream: the vision of creating my own brand, called Trèsofì, which unites design and lifestyle.

The collage places the name Trèsofì at the center, surrounded by objects and atmospheres that reflect my passion for interior design and décor. Some of these are iconic pieces of Italian design, which I admire and included as symbols of elegance, creativity, and cultural heritage. I wanted the piece to capture not only my interests, but also my identity and style — something I would describe as bold and chic, playful yet sophisticated.

To evoke the feeling of a dream, I intentionally created a surreal and mysterious atmosphere. I worked with contrasts of color, scale, and composition, combining cut-out images of my favorite design objects with symbolic elements that suggest fantasy and imagination. By layering these elements in unexpected ways, I aimed to transport the viewer into a world that feels both strange and familiar — much like a dream.

For me, this collage is more than a school project; it is a step toward visualizing my future aspirations. It represents the brand I hope to one day bring to life, and the creative spirit I want Trèsofì to embody.”

A green curtain is pulled aside on the left, revealing a room with tufted mustard-colored modular seating. A bright orange ceiling lamp hangs overhead. Floating hands holding red lipstick tubes appear on the right side. At the center, a vintage-style sign reads “treSofi” with decorative accents. Books, a patterned rug, a record player, and a partial classical sculpture face add to the dreamlike atmosphere.
