Kids Free is what I like to think the definition of a kid is. An Image of kids being kids. Free to the world with no worries or problems. I think it has changed a lot lately with the Internet, Amber alerts, human trafficking and School Shootings. When I was a kid I felt so free to just explore the city with my friends and be home before the streetlights came on. Now with me having kids myself, I feel like I just want to protect them from the world. Nothing feels safe anymore.

The Kids Free Traffic Signal Box project is part of the Public Art Work Plan for 2022.
