The back yard of my house is specialThe back yard of my house is very special
Frogs and giraffes come to say hi
We run races in wooden cars
then we eat some custard pies
The back yard or my house is very special
I enjoy the visits that make it shine...
There are three kinds of human. Homo Sapiens, the human who knows. Homo Faber, the human who creates. Homo Ludens, the human who plays.
Play is a function of the living, it presents to us like an intermezzo, an interlude of our daily life.
Play is a ritual that has a consecrated spot, the playground, the back yard, the magic circle. Inside this playground an absolute and peculiar order reigns. Into an imperfect world and into the confusion of life it brings a temporary, limited perfection
As makers, we have the power to transform material into ideas. Through this process in which we experiment with tension and confusion, we are able to achieve pleasure. We play with the reality mixing experiences from the inner world with the outside world. In this blend is where it lays our inspiration.
Reversal and inversion, exaggeration, paradox, playing with boundaries, playing with infinity, playing with space and playing with time. This is what human does. Humans are artists only when they are at play or perhaps they are ideally humans only when they are at play.

Yaba Daba Doo Series
Yaba Daba Doo it is an expression of joy and celebration, the catchphrase extracted from The Flinstones Cartoon.
Irony and pop culture are highlighted, presenting the universal shape of the bone as its basic element, referring to the empowerment and protection amulets of the caveman. By dyeing them in metallic tones and dressing them up in gala with sparkles of zirconia, they jump to our present as jewels to stomp in a world where everything moves way too fast.
