«To live is to play.»
Gabriele Meneguzzi

— A city park, children having fun under the watchful eyes of their grandparents. Suddenly a wind just takes the balloons away from the hands of children. While they are flying away towards the sky, however, they are caught by the branches of the tallest secular trees. Like the wind, we have “stolen” something from children, too: the idea. A work conceived and realized in the name of lightness and transparency.
