My project is a commentary on how some adults feel that they must give up childish things but then end up missing them greatly in the long-term. I was inspired to create this work because it relates to my feelings at this transitional time in my life, and I wanted to communicate the theme of childhood regression. As a young teenager, at times I felt that I had to choose to act like an adult rather than my own age when it would have been much easier to be childish. Even now there are times that I wish I could go back to being a carefree child. I think that this is a universal idea that many different people from very different backgrounds can relate to, which is why I chose to base my project on this idea.
