BALLOONS

When a child receives a balloon, it’s the exact moment when the biggest smile appears on their face. However, in a moment of carelessness, it can slip away, unleashing the most terrible tears. The child cries because no one explained that happiness wasn’t in the balloon itself, but in the moment it was given and the sense of satisfaction those shared instants allowed.

This series aims to remind us of the importance of moments over things. It emphasizes learning to live and enjoy those fleeting instances that sometimes

slip away without receiving the attention they deserved. Balloons is an exercise in appreciation and release, fueled by love, while never

forgetting the true significance of those shared moments.

This is because he does not know that if he held it with all his strength, he would have exploded it anyway, causing even greater pain.

GREEN BALLOON (Currently on exhibit)

Sometimes we grow up in environments where we do what we see, repeating paths, patterns and stories.

If we can understand that we cannot tame the trajectory of our balloon to follow, we will be freer and more fulfilled to fly in the right direction.
