The English language presents a strict set of rules filled with intricacies. The beauty of such a structure appears when it does not work--like how ‘I’m so sleepy’ can become ‘soeepy’. Language, words, and letters instead can be soft, comfortable, pliable, and playful. They can become a new material used to manifest new forms, characters, and experiences.
18 handmade red letter plushes that spell out the word ‘soeepy’ three times.
