As children, we relate to the world around us differently. Who hasn’t filled up a sink imagining to be an endless sea and play with little figures in this whimsical and unique world? We all did !

The medicine cabinet, a forbidden place with names we didn’t understand but filled up with colorful boxes that would become buildings of a city that sleeps while we are awake and awakes while we are asleep.

Every space in hour homes has its own role, magic was in every daily object that surround us. From the water bottles at the table that were control towers of an imaginary airport, to spoons that could catapult object far beyond the edge of the table, everything has endless possibilities through the eyes and perception of a child. Even candy through it color and textures not only made us smile, but also sometime even it becomes superhero’s food that would transform us in a strong caped character that would save the world or the kryptonite that would make us weak.

Thorough my work I tap into these forgotten emotions associated with the past that live in us, but sometimes forgotten. I’m not trying to create nostalgia in the viewer, but rather awake the ability still inhabit in us to bring that inner child out for a play. A new fresh experience trough the eye of our inner child that is in all of us and needs to go out and play more often, because sometimes he has forgotten how beautiful and fun life could be.

"True Love" is a piece that tells the story of our first love, the one we felt when we were a child. A love that has not been conditioned by speculations of any kind. A love that is only limited by our imagination and our heart. A love that cannot be contained nor has any barriers.

We feel shy to express it because we don't know how to do it. We ask our friends to let that special person know of our feelings. We write it on a paper airplane and send it flying across the classroom, hoping that it will land on the right table.

Pure and innocent would probably be the best words to describe that special feeling we only experience once in a lifetime, true love.

We all have dreams and wishes (balloons), I’m not sure what the difference between them are, maybe the colors. In this case, like in life, there is a exchange happening. Some dreams and whishes will stay with us for life and some will get deflated. But at the end, all of them together will make who we are.  Sometimes by not getting what you want you end up getting what you truly need. Let’s make an effort and trust the process of life.
