In The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters, Francisco Goya opens a window into the unconscious mind. Through ikonoTV’s slow unfolding, shadows deepen and winged creatures emerge from the dark, swirling around the sleeping figure. The silence heightens the tension and this is not just a dream, but a warning. Goya’s etching, part of his Los Caprichos series, becomes a timeless meditation on imagination unmoored from reason. It is haunting, poetic, and unsettlingly human.
