About Finding Neverland Series
The reality of time is short-lived; the society is constantly ever changing. When my mind is fed up and my soul is lost, I look for a space where I can step back from the worries of this world, and in which I hope to find mirth and a lightness of being away from the struggles of life. Through a mental journey for relaxation, I have turned back the time, trying to depict the innocent bliss of childhood. My precious childhood memories in a way have evolved into a paradise in my mind, whereas all the complicated matters varnish into a simple status quo. This is where the Neverland is, where my dreams and hopes are still preserved, and where my minds are at ease.
