The Dream
Rousseau's painting shown above is of pure fantasy depicting a woman who seems like a goddess of a forrest. Her body nude and free with the wilderness, sitting so calmly and just gazing into the view before her, this can be a male/ or female fantasy.
MARIKO MORI
Empty Dream
Here Mori inserts herself into this fantasy scene on a beach as a mermaid while people stare and take pictures, she is seen as a goddess on display.
The similarity between the two is that they are both mere fantasies the artist creates. The difference is that Henri's work is more of a free environment with no interruptions, while Mori's is a fantasy of her own. The kind of fantasy that makes others aware of the object shown and gains attention from it.
