A Love Letter to Baby Ellen

Imaginative play, once a way I would create magical worlds, untouched by fear and danger, now central to my creative practice and personality. This love letter to my younger self and the boundless imagination that has shaped me through adulthood has allowed me to reconnect with all versions of Ellen and transformed how I view the world through the wide-eyed wonder of childhood. In doing so, I resist the pressures of rigid educational systems that often dismiss childlike curiosity as something to outgrow.
Being told to let go and ‘grow up’ has never sat well with me, it is a message I now choose to unlearn the narratives of leaving that version of life behind.
There is nothing immature or shameful about loving the child you once were, instead choosing to carry
them forward, to make space for their voice and to live with the curiosity and softness they first gave us.
Reconnecting with Baby Ellen has reminded me that although I am protecting her, she is looking after me and holding my hand through adulthood.
