Artist Statement: 

I made a stop motion video of bunnies and hedgehogs who don't get along because the bunnies are afraid of the hedgehogs' quills, and are afraid they'll pop their balloons. When a fox threatens the bunnies, the hedgehogs save them despite how mean the bunnies had treated them. When the balloons pop they discover they were filled with carrots. I have hope because good can overcome the bad. My video shows that quills (our differences) shouldn't stop us from being friends and accepting others' differences. I have hope because I look for the good in others.
