In this series I explored the concept of happiness. In my youth I remember ice-cream having an incredible power to create happiness for me. A bad day could always be turned around by a trip to go get ice-cream. This is why I chose ice-cream a symbol for happiness in my work.
Now as I meet the stresses of growing up I reminisce about that simple solution to my problems. I think about how everything now is comparatively so complicated. In this series I explore the simplicity of happiness, how I search for it, how I ignore it and how it has affected me as a person.
