This focused series of pieces explores ideas of lost youth in today's society. The work looks at eating habits, violence, education, gang culture and perceptions of childhood. The original figurines used are chocolate box images of childhood where even a street urchin is depicted as a romantic notion. The process of updating these figures plays as much of an important role in the work as the completed pieces.
