102 blown glass balloons, sold upon request
Figure and rocking chair have been sold to a private collector, separate from balloons.
102 blown glass balloons hanging from the 12-foot ceiling which symbolize the lofty dreams of children.

Titled "When I Grow Up", this piece is about reaching for dreams that may be far-fetched or unattainable. The solid figure contrasts the fragile and weightless balloons, and balances precariously on a rocking chair. This piece is about childhood innocence and determination despite naivety.
