“I’ve always been amazed when friends recount intricate details and entire storylines of their dreams while mine remain in shards—minute fragments of what was. Was it really a dream, or was it a previously forgotten memory seeping through to my conscious mind?”

Diana Nicholette Jeon’s Nights as Inexorable as the Sea is a series of black-and-white diptychs that reproduce the strange and unpredictable nature of dreams and memory. The artist’s uncanny yet poetic pairings of images reveal the inconsistencies of the subconscious, while their presentation in small, open-faced tins simulates the desire to hold onto these ephemeral memories, as if storing treasured snapshots and other keepsakes for posterity.

Diana Nicholette Jeon is an award-winning contemporary artist who lives and works in Honolulu, Hawaii. She holds an MFA from University of Maryland Baltimore County and her work has been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions nationally and internationally. Jeon’s art has received four Hawaii SFCA Purchase Awards, the International Photo Award, 11th Julia Margaret Cameron Award, Pollux Award, and the Mobile Photo Award, among others, and has been featured in Gente di Fotografia, SHOTS Magazine, Pf Magazine, the Art Photo Index, and LensCulture.
