The Adventures of *

Life drums the playfulness out of a boy as he grows up.

Sometimes I think about things, and sometimes I get sad.

The project explores the inner struggles of the artist, the fears, anxieties and thought patterns that, to some extent, drive their existence. The artist's voice, sporadically reciting diary-like entries, guides you through a world built as a visual representation of their emotions. The resulting experience is surrealist in nature, but also deeply intimate.
