Artist Statement

This work focuses on the desire for youth and / or a comfort zone in life. The childhood of a person represents a simpler time devoid of serious responsibility, and, once burdened with the responsibility of adulthood, sometimes we wish to return to this time of simplicity. Also present is the concept of how desires change over time; the desires that we are born with are not necessarily the desires that we die with. When young, we wish to be older in order to be allowed to do what we want; but when older, we desire youth to escape adult hardships.
