This piece was inspired by two classroom mascots. The children learned about an egg's cycle of life and watched them hatch into baby chicks. I was a para educator for the class and realized how much these chicks paralleled our own experience. We grow into adults and come back to educate children and help them gain the knowledge they'll need for when they become adults and the cycle continues. How easy it is to vaport as we grow the curiosity and awe of what it was like to be those children.
