ll as the Sun came to be from an interaction that I witnessed in Ocean City, NJ on the beach between a young daughter and father. He hoisted her up on his shoulders and she was calling out everything that she could see. From there the idea sparked in my head – what if she imagined herself getting taller and taller as she encountered each thing such as kites, airplanes, and the sun.
