“Childhoods.
We listened, we read, we wrote, we created. We played the games, we solved the riddles. Thrills of joy, at the very least, kept boredom at bay, at their best, gave us the space to wish, to wonder if only for a moment.
Children’s rhymes, myths, fables, legends. They all once filled our heads with ideas only we never seem to know what they were. This series is the reaction. An object of reverence to any fairy tale. Wonder tale. Magic tale. A nod to the gift of anticipation. A gleaming dive into fanaticism. A leeway in which we too become children, again. A return to that world, to recreate.
Nine sets of visuals. Originated from retrieving, assembling the lost flights of childhood fancies, however foolish, frivolous, however fragmented, fractured. The eleven pieces are reminiscent of a child’s preschool Arts and Crafts. An organic experience built on the fact everything will age, nothing lasts—considering how all thoughts mature, evolve, eventually flushed out with time.
If childhood is, after all, an echo of time, every now and then, rings in a memory.
With our decades of growth. In our dearest of feelings. We smile at those memories.”
