Artwork description:

In this bronze sculpture, a young girl is lifted skyward by her balloons — rising toward adulthood.
The balloons symbolize aspiration and the inevitable pull of growing up. Yet, her hand still clings tightly to her beloved companions — a teddy bear and a little rabbit. They embody childhood’s innocence, trust, and simple joy — the tender part of the soul that resists being left behind.

The toys reach toward her, as if whispering, “Take us with you…”, but remain on the ground — symbols of memories, warmth, and the fleeting purity of early life.
The contrast between the lightness of flight and the weight of bronze evokes the tension between dreams and reality, between holding on and letting go.

This work speaks of a gentle farewell to childhood — not of loss, but of continuity.
For as we grow, we carry with us not the toys themselves, but the boundless ability to dream, believe, and love as we once did.
