Pot Pourri gâté

This original and unique piece represents a happy child's toy box with a touch of retro to remember the good times of childhood with a mixture of old and more recent toys. Inspired by the accumulation of little moments of joy from childhood. Not the big, memorable ones, but the small, fleeting ones: getting a new toy, opening a Kinder Surprise, a birthday party, or a souvenir from a day out. These little moments gave our brains instant rewards, quick hits of happiness we often forget as time passes as we mainly remember the big moments. To me, remembering these small moments of joy is a way of choosing happiness. I believe objects have the power to trigger memories, because our brain remembers not just the event, but the sensations tied to it: a sound, a smell, a touch, an object. Toys specifically can instantly reconnect adults with that feeling of innocence and delight, whether they recall their own childhood, their children’s, or simply their inner child.
