Story & Message:

She found the wounded swallow by the water, as it was trying to flap its wings back to life. Deep down she knew, the two of them were the same – flightless on a land that was not their home. The bird was shivering, and the girl breathed warm air into its lungs. It was no accident that two of them had met – she thought – it couldn’t have been. Hope filled her for the first time in a long while. The horizon was calling for them, and it was only a matter of days before they could answer its call.

From my project “Stuffed Animals”

Early on in our lives stuffed animals play a key role in our emotional development. When we were children, they were our loyal companions who never betrayed us. When it was comforting we needed, they were there for us, and accepted every emotion that we threw at them. They listened to our secrets, and never told anyone.

As adults, we may crave a similar kind of love – a love that is unconditional. But the more we grow, the more difficult it is to get it from the outside.

Sometimes, we have to be our own stuffed animals, and accept ourselves the way we are. When we do, life is nothing short of magic. These pieces grasp the magical encounters with our [imaginary] stuffed animals.
