A snail explores different chambers inside its shell: one filled with thoughts, one with feelings, one with memories.
A snail wearing an anthropomorphic hat symbolising Thoughts is looking into a mirror. It sees itself, but differently. The hat character is heavy and big and makes him sad and not quite right.
Sometimes, inside gets busy with so many thoughts! You'll hear how they buzz in bustling swarms. The snail hears many thoughts inside its mind, some thoughts are loving, some are calm, some are beautiful, some are funny, some are scary, some are worrying, some are following you.
A snail is carefully releasing back into the wild a thought that doesn't fit it well, like releasing an animal back into their native habitat. The thought is an anthropomorphic character getting in the box, saying goodbyes and shyly exiting the box and then flying away.
An anthropomorphic snail character is living all the emotions and feelings - the positive ones (joy, happiness, thrill, exhilaration, trust) and the negative ones (anger, sadness, gloom, disgust)
I Want To Be A King! is a boy's imaginative quest, from royal breakjast to braving his biggest dragon of all: saying goodbye at kindergarten. A child is wearing an imaginary crown and orders a fantastically impossible feast to avoid going to school.
The Fairy of Light gazes into the distance. A boat follows the sweet scent. The Night Queen has done it again. Who is she bringing this time?
The age of Maturity. This illustration depicts the reinterpreted myth of Dokia/Dochia in picture book illustration form. It shows Dokia, a mythical old character who changes and becomes younger by the action of removing her Nine Coats. She is going throught the age of maturity, from old woman to young adult. Her coats depict traditional romanian motives.
The age of play. A ten year old Dokia is skipping down a hill, happily picking up flowers. A younger Dokia is seen removing her last coat in the air flying away like a bird.
The age of freedom. A 4 year old child Dokia is seen running in a large flowery field, having brought spring again with the shedding of her last coat. The image shows a bird flying above her, symbolizing her becoming finally free.
