Ava: ‘Oddball is an ode to childhood; one that may, or may not have, existed for you. It is a privilege to be able to say you had a good childhood, or one at all. Childhood (to me) is one of the most sacred human experiences. Some may not remember their own, or do not want to remember it, and others might relish in the nostalgia of their youth. For me, childhood was fun, beautiful, innocent, and also terrifying. It seemed as if I could never catch up on ‘growing up’, always wanting to embrace my inner child even if I was told not to.’
