The oriental woodcut pattern of "Once Upon a Dream" is combined with contrasting and harmonious colours. The separate top and bottom wood panel structure allows the headdress-like landscape to be cut above the figure's back as a clue to the subject.
Using the negative colours produced by the electronic screen treatment, a crown-like paradise is placed on top of the figure, as if it has just been crowned. The detachable top and bottom structure also hints at the fragility of electronic memory.
