Write-up:
Children can simply eat, laugh and play, but I am a child grown old.
Rainbows and Bonbons stems from my personal experience and desire to preserve my childhood fantasy. The viewer is invited to share the special connection of innocence and happiness between the child and candy. Yet, this work goes beyond portraying this childhood happiness. It is laced with deeper nuances of emotion associated not just with nostalgia, but with regret. While one can celebrate in the recollection of this simple joy, most will realize that this joy lies only in our memories.
