03 Απρ Exhibition «Dreams of Childhood», Gallery X, Dublin

Childhood is that magical time of our lives in which the boundary between the real, the possible, and the imaginary cross and are blurred; in which we can believe anything, and in which we can make things real just by believing them. It is a time of wonder, curiosity and discovery.

It is also the time in which we are most vulnerable; and when the fortress erected to protect us too often becomes our prison.

Children’s endless potential scares the people who are bound by love and law to protect them and help them thrive – as they can take any path, any direction, become, in the end, any one of infinite beings, outside our control. These works celebrate the only time in our life when we can, just maybe, fly.
