In The Dreams, featuring 40 original works on canvas and 8 limited edition prints based on the paintings, Hirst presents a synthesis of his Spin paintings and his characteristic use of butterflies. He merges the philosophical underpinnings of both elements: the dynamic, spontaneous motion of the Spin paintings serving as a metaphor for life's unpredictability and the inevitability of change, while the butterflies—described by Hirst as a universal trigger—symbolize love, beauty, and the transient nature of existence.
