Original artwork description:

Let all your worries be eaten by unicorns!
Finally I built a real toy! One of those fantastic ones that I dreamed of as a child! I can hug him, kiss him, look into his eyes and notice how all the sorrows drown in his wide smile, turning into a bright rainbow.
This character is my understanding and interpretation of the famous quote from Lewis Carroll.

“The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said "Talk, child."
Alice could not help her lips curling up into a smile as she began: "Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!"
"Well, now that we have seen each other," said the Unicorn, "If you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?”

For me, it is about the fact that if we are not at the mercy of habitual and imposed cliches, then we can choose what to believe in and how to live. And no one can stop us from doing this. All you need to do is be open and courageous. I don’t always manage to practice this, but over the years I improve my skills, and you? How are you with faith in miracles and self-confidence? It's connected, right?
