In a world that always asks us to keep our feet on the ground, there is a child, with their face hidden by a polka-dotted balloon. Every yellow balloon floating in the sky is a collective dream, a desire for freedom and hope that rises above the clouds. Behind the mask of the black balloon, there hides a part of oneself, an emotion not yet ready to reveal itself to the world. The innocence that dreams of a future without limits, free from fears and judgments, is hidden. It’s clear that, even when we feel hidden or trapped, dreams know no boundaries free and without limits.
