SQUEE!, original
48 × 30 inches (121.92 × 76.2 cm): SQUEE! Do you know what that means? It's that little scream of happiness you make when something is so cute, exciting, or surprising that a simple YAY is not enough!
And believe me, Clara is the queen of SQUEE!
When she sees an ice cream coming her way, SQUEE! When she catches a wave while surfing, SQUEE! When someone buys one of her artworks, another SQUEE! And don't even get me started when she meets someone she admires or when one of her big dreams comes true. The excitement, the faces, the happy noises, the whole body celebrating! Ahahah, I just love watching her.
And you know what I love most? It doesn't always take something big to make Clara happy. Sometimes it's the smallest thing that makes her whole day. And I think we adults forget how to do that. We are so busy with our problems, our plans, and everything we need to get done that we forget to get excited about life!
So here is SQUEE, the artwork that gives its name to this collection. A big, colorful reminder to find happiness around you, celebrate the little things, and never lose that excitement for life.
Because we all need a little more SQUEE in our days!
