Why do we stop playing?

Return to Microcosm follows Josepha and Cecilia as they return to the microcosm – a place of childlike curiosity, where the world still holds magic.

Felix asks why we ever left. Is it the system that shapes us, pulling us away from wonder? Or is it today’s world itself that makes us long for play more than ever?

This work is a visual reminder of what once came naturally: play, wonder, and the joy of discovery.
