Catalogue Note
"Exploring Nara's world and its inhabitants can be as disconcerting as taking one of Alice's trips through Wonderland. His characters are devilish, fairy-tale strange, and not afraid to embrace the anxiety and intensity that define existence at any age. Nara challenges the world of grown-ups, full of unyielding expectations and entrenched codes of behavior. He reminds us that we all grow up too fast, and he invites us to reclaim the qualities of youth."
