- Series 1 - Is this a DreamOnce we step into a new door, everything seems foreign. Almost like a dream - exploring new cultures, skills or experiences; everything seems surreal. When diving into something new, we tend to get ourselves caught into blocks or obstacles - Kelly expressed her experiences throughout these prints, letting the viewers explore this mystical world in four prints.
