I believe that early memories closely represent a person before acquiring any values or moral beliefs and therefore, they depict human beings in their purest state. My characters share similar forms and generic features because as a kid, I did not see people as distinct. My current project is titled Mr. Balloon.

The Balloon is a symbol for a friend, a sibling, a newborn infant, or the beginning of life.
