“But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart.” -The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I chose The Little Prince because I’ve noticed a lovely little phenomenon. When presented with technology – high or low (especially low, actually) – adults revert to a childlike animation and excitement, which I think is just wonderful. We regard lights as magic and that fascination is one I would never trade. The Little Prince regards the adult world as absurd and imparts important social criticism through deceptive childlike messages.

I made the stars featured throughout the novella out of orange LEDs, because both stars and lights are magical in their own way.

Finally, I chose the quote because it is so important to feel everything we do deeply. Intellect is important, but passion drives us.

Using Paper by 53, I drew/painted an image from The Little Prince. After printing it, I attached LEDs for the stars, and made the parallel circuit using a 3V coin battery and copper tape.
