Theme: Refracted Reflections

According to Merriam-Webster, refraction is, deflection from a straight path undergone by a light ray or energy wave in passing obliquely from one medium (such as air) into another (such as glass) in which its velocity is different, or, the change in the apparent position of a celestial body due to the bending of the light rays emanating from it as they pass through the atmosphere.

Theme: Wishful Dreaming

According to Merriam-Webster, wishful means, expressive of a wish, or, having a wish or, according to wishes rather than reality; and, dreaming means a series of thoughts, images, or emotions occurring during sleep, an experience of waking life having the characteristics of a dream.
