Hypnos in Greek means sleep, and in Greek mythology the God of sleep was called Hypnos. He had powers as inducing sleep, visions and dreams. Possessing such powerful abilities were used for both evil and pure purposes.

Displaying a male model lying in bed in pain, maybe he is having bad dreams. The male model represents Hypnos both on his evil side with the help of the moving effect and dark warm colors (purple) but also on his pure side with the bright warm colors (pink). The blurry effect gives the feeling of dream manipulation. The colors are symbolic, the colors of dream. The model looks even demonic.
