April 2022

This work has been created by the artist in collaboration with his 3 years old daughter, who wrote the story. Yago has designed her drawing and writing on his PC. The story is the following: “A kitten has arrived” Once upon a time, there was an elephant named Hanako. Hanako went to a park, stumbling on the way. A crow flew away, stealing a bento. The sun fought for the bento. The crow got angry. Then, Miki-chan and Maki-chan Cut the crow into pieces. The sky turned into a monster and fell. Then, the rain started. Then, a poop baby was born. He cried: “wah-wah”. The rain baby cried: “Where is my mama?” The rain girls held each other's hands. The cherry kicked the ball and ate bugs. Someone walked over a pool: splish-splash. The moon wore glasses, And raised her chin. The moon went to school. The bug dropped the cherry. Then he carried his house away. I stepped on an egg yolk. A Wiggly Worm got angry.

Another work created in collaboration with the artist's daughter. Yago draws inspiration from the freedom of the child, of the way her work starts from the lines themselves, not the conceptualizing. Trying to learn that freedom, the artist traced his daughter's drawings on his computer.
