Growing up on Long Island, Juliet visited the Great South Bay almost every day. She was always fascinated by all of the sea birds that would be perched on the old docks and pilings, and used to bring her sketchbook and draw the birds that she saw. Sometimes, it would get very foggy down by the water, and it would become almost impossible to see anything further than ten feet in front of her. Juliet began to think about what might happen in the fog when we are unable to see into it and came up with this concept. She loves thinking about how all of the seabirds would want to perch on their new friend, William the squid, as he has the ability to hold them all at once.
