Not a Bak reference for this work: Up, the Pixar tale of the enthusiastic scout Russell and the curmudgeon Carl who is alone after his wife's death. Balloons lift his house UP and into a story of connection and love.
Balloons do connote flight, freedom and room for fantasy.
The metal, case-like dice are used to transport a Short Message.
There are surrounding sheets of blank paper that fill the skies.
What is the short message? A last will? A note of love?
We are invited to imagine all of the possibilities.
