When asked ″although your characters are caught in a very shady moment, there is something beautiful and poetic in the way they are represented, tell us more about this duality″, The Kid answered ″I’ve always been attracted by this line in The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde: ″behind every exquisite thing lies something tragic″, I think this is pretty much what all of my works have in common. Despite their youth and beauty, all of my subjects are doomed to fail, like a flower is destined to fade. And I try to capture them in their defining moment, forever caught between innocence and corruption." And he added ″I want to question the audience about social determinism, the thin frontier between innocence and corruption, the equality of chances, or the fading line between right and wrong in our modern societies.″
