The Dreams Collection
An ongoing body of conceptual and ritual artworks inspired by recurring dreams, symbolic memory, and the unseen patterns that shape human experience.
The Architecture of Self-Betrayal
Five sculptures. One question asked five different ways: where does a woman first leave her own life.
Saturday, September 26th · Stex House · József krt. 55-57, 1085 Budapest · Free entry · 12–8pm
Save the DateWorking with brass, rope, wood, textiles, beads, and found materials, each sculpture translates an invisible psychological landscape into physical form. Every work begins with a dream. The sculptures translate its symbolic architecture into a contemporary ritual object, inviting reflection, interpretation, and dialogue.
Two works in this collection exist in two forms — a Linen Edition and a later Carved Edition, built months apart in different materials. Each is its own one-of-one original.
Well Gate
Brass, rope, velvet, gold beads on linen · 60 × 60 cm · 2026 Original Artwork · One of One €900Constructed from brass nails, rope, velvet, and gold beads, Well Gate examines containment, reciprocity, and the invisible boundaries through which abundance is accepted or refused. The overflow cascades outward from a matte black centre while twelve gold beads sit outside the circle, refused entry.

Well Gate
Birch plywood, jute rope, gold thread, brass nails, wooden beads · 60 × 60 cm · 2026 Original Artwork · One of One €2,400The same containment as the Linen Edition, carved directly into birch rather than laid onto a surface. The centre is routed and recessed by hand, with jute rope and gold thread set inside the grooves themselves.

Restart Spiral
Brass nails, cotton yarn, wood, glass bead on linen · 60 × 30 cm · 2026 Original Artwork · One of One €1,300A spiral of thirty-three brass nails bound with cream yarn and interrupted by exposed points and a single red bead. The work explores repetition, interrupted momentum, and the symbolic tension between beginning and completion. Three bare nails at the centre remain unwrapped — the point never reached.

Restart Spiral
Birch plywood, braided cotton rope, brass, gold-coated beads · 60 × 60 cm · 2026 Original Artwork · One of One €3,400The same spiral, carved directly into birch rather than wrapped across a surface. The hardest piece in the collection to build — seventy hours, the groove routed by hand before a single strand is laid.

Reverse Spear
Found branch, birch, stone, brass, Ankara fabric · 60 × 60 cm · 2026 Original Artwork · One of One €1,600A found branch, salvaged from a Pirates of the Caribbean film set, carved with two stone arrowheads — one forward, one back — held toward the past by a single gold tension line. The choice stays available, held by tension alone.

Hollow Crown
Birch, jacquard, found key, brass wire, brass and black nails · 60 × 60 cm · 2026 Original Artwork · One of One €1,900A found vintage key, finished in liquid metal, fixed permanently into a crown of brass wire and black yarn — the identity earned by staying obedient to someone else's system.

Collision Line
Birch plywood, gold thread, brass, red rope, torn sheer fabric, cowrie shell · 120 × 60 cm · 2026 Original Artwork · One of One €2,800The moment the performed self and the buried self meet, without resolution. The largest work in the collection, and the piece that closes the exhibition, September 26th, part of Budapest Artineris.

Untitled
Original work currently in development · 2026 In DevelopmentAnnounced to the waitlist before it publishes anywhere else. Each new work in The Dreams Collection emerges from the same symbolic architecture — a dream translated into material form.
Join the WaitlistThe Dreams Collection explores the meeting point of dream, ritual, and material memory.
Each sculpture begins with an experience that resists language and becomes an object through repetition, handcraft, and symbolic form. The materials — brass, rope, velvet, beads, linen — are not chosen decoratively. Each one is chosen because it holds a specific symbolic weight that corresponds to the invisible structure being translated into physical form.
The works invite viewers to encounter their own meanings through observation and presence.
The collection is ongoing. Each new work emerges from the same process: a dream, a pattern within it, and the slow labour of translating that pattern into a physical object that can be lived with.
Obianuju Tóth
Nigerian-born, Hungary-based conceptual and ritual artist. Her interdisciplinary practice explores identity, symbolic memory, dreams, and transformation through sculpture, installation, writing, music, and performance. Based in Budapest.
14 to 42 hours per piece. Every nail, strand, and bead placed individually across multiple sessions.
Each design is unique and will not be remade in identical form. Production is inherently bounded by the labour each work demands.
Carefully packed and insured. Certificate of authenticity and symbolic notes included with each work.
Each of these sculptures names a pattern in general. The Rite names yours directly, in a private ninety-minute session, and sends you home with a handmade talisman built from what's found.
