CHILDHOOD DREAMS
When the Game Became a Dream
Four chapters about a childhood, a handheld Game & Watch, and the moment play became a dream. The original Slovak artwork is preserved; each English image edition contains an additional translated reading panel underneath.
“Imagination knows no bounds of time or space.”
These are four illustrated variations of one remembered feeling, not a literal reconstruction of events. Each image is a door to a different layer of the dream.
