As a child, I would play with my stuffed animals, getting lost in the fantasy imaginings of youth. However, over time I set aside my toys, and they became only a thing for display, a memory of the joys of childhood. Eventually, I had to put them away, well-worn and loved. I have made this work to preserve that natural experience of growing up.
