You Were Once a Dream

30”x40” | Mixed Media on Canvas

A luminous blue meditation on memory, longing and origin. "You Were Once a Dream" features a moonlit cloud profile evoking timeless sacred femininity. By Jacqueline Claire.

A vision bathed in light.

You Were Once a Dream captures the quiet grandeur of nature — of this luminous blue sphere we call Earth, our humble, motherly home. Like the childhood ritual of naming shapes in the clouds, the moonlit face of a woman emerges from abstraction, suggesting reverie, divine thought, and sacred beginnings. The moon is both witness and companion — a radiant symbol of remembrance, transformation, and the archetypal feminine.

This piece evokes a sense of tranquil reverence, while also holding emotional drama and depth — a womb-like atmosphere where time softens and inner truths rise to the surface. Through layered abstraction and luminous form, the canvas becomes a spiritual landscape of memory, longing, and sacred transformation — where presence drifts like smoke between worlds.

It is a contemplative presence — both window and witness — that invites you to pause, reflect, and remember what once was… and what still is.
