"Various objects were selected for this piece to recall childhood memories. There is a girl in the picture, who is no longer baby-like. Grown up from her naive childhood, she contemplates the wooden horse she used to ride, the pinwheels she used to spin worries free, the books she read her favourite stories from, in the room she dreamt of many things with a pure heart. Meanwhile, in the back of the room, the clock is ticking toward midnight, evoking the soon-to-be broken spell from stories like Cinderella. And yet the girl is trying hard to make this moment linger to stay in her comfy, peaceful and familiar space. She is unaware that the night sky is cold and doesn't have a clue about what is waiting for her in the outside world."
_JeeYoung Lee

Plusieurs objets ont été choisis pour cette œuvre afin d'évoquer des souvenirs d'enfance. La jeune fille, qui n'est plus une enfant, a bien grandi depuis l'époque où elle chevauchait un cheval de bois et jouait avec ses toupies de manière insouciante, lisant des histoires et rêvant à tant de choses avec un cœur pur. L'horloge qui sonnera bientôt minuit fait écho à la fin de cette enfance merveilleuse, comme le suggère la pantoufle de verre qui rappelle le sort brisé de Cendrillon. Refusant l'échéance, la jeune fille prolonge ce moment en se rattachant aux moments paisibles passés au sein de cet espace familier. Elle ne réalise pas que la nuit est glaciale et n'a aucune idée de ce qui l'attend dans le monde extérieur.
