CTRL_Dream Collection

The CTRL+Dream Collection explores the intersection between materiality, emotion, and digital consciousness.

Conceived by Romanian artist Cristina Rusu, the series reimagines the traditional ceramic figure as a contemporary guardian — a sculptural embodiment of memory, protection, and inner transformation.

Each work takes the form of a Teddy Guardian, a recurring archetype in Rusu’s visual language. Created from fine ceramic and finished with refined surface treatments, these figures bridge the tactile world of craft with the conceptual realm of metaphysics. Their serene forms suggest both innocence and power, evoking themes of emotional resilience and the preservation of wonder in an age of hyper-connectivity.

Through CTRL+Dream, Cristina R. creates a dialogue between control and imagination — between what is tangible and what remains unseen. Her practice blurs boundaries between art, design, and spirituality, positioning each piece as both an aesthetic object and a vessel of symbolic energy.

By merging intuitive creation with conceptual rigor, the collection situates itself within the contemporary discourse on object as narrative, reaffirming the role of the handmade artifact as a carrier of emotion, story, and light.
