At this turbulent moment in human history, rapid technological development has distanced us from our nature. We are losing the ability to play, imagine, and dream. “Carousel” is a magical toy that lives in the memory of our childhood, evoking joy and enchanted smiles through music, lights, colors, and motion—back to a time when the passage of time seemed to stand still. This piece is a tribute to the memories and innocence of childhood, and a heartfelt attempt to reclaim our capacity to dream.
