When he arrived at the age of 27, the boy admitted the sadness he carried inside of him. The kind of sadness that is just like the summer wind, which enters inside people without asking permission.

At the age of 27, the boy admitted that he felt as if he was only half a person, with drawers full of emptiness. He cried for not having an accordion heart, capable of keeping in its bellows the things that were her memories.

At 27, he stumbled into autumn, admitting the urgency of turning his sadness inside out, he wrote to his sister.

This project is about turning sadness inside out. It’s about being able to be happy even when we lose half of a heart.
