------you can see that my work in this show is all based on my childhood memories. This is one painful memory of me stealing toys from my friend who had many many toys. I was so envious that I "borrowed" a toy every time I went to visit him. I returned it the next time I went there and came back with another toy. I thought he didn't mind since he had so many. At one point, my friend told me " please don't steal my toys" right on my face. I was probably 5 and my friend was 6. I was so embarrassed and traumatized to this day. I never stole anything since...I don't think...--------Dice Tsutsumi
