In early 2008, we brought home our daughter, having adopted her after a long, arduous and emotional process. Her presence in our lives, and in our home was, and continues to be joyful and life changing. Children have a unique way they view and move in the world that is sadly curbed and contained as they grow older.This project celebrates their unique vision of and in the world, and the traces that they leave via their imaginative play.
