Inspired
from myths about changelings all around the world, in which small children is
taken by trolls and replaced with a troll child. In Sweden and possibly in
other places this was probably one way of explaining why some special or
unusual children was born. To trace the forests wild
is a quote from Shakespeares play Midsummer Nights
Dream.
This piece
is a kind of abstract romantic fairytale around this subject. By emphasizing on
the romantic, I also try to focus on that all humans are beautiful, regardless
on looks, special needs and such.
