It starts with the first time a parent leaves a child home alone. Do not cook in case you burn down the house. Do not wear socks on the stairs; you will slip. Do not run with scissors. And whatever you do, DON’T ANSWER THE DOOR!

Drawing from personal experiences and observations, We’re Unable to Answer the Door is an exploration into the resilient nature of children and a parent’s complex balance of protecting their children and giving them responsibility.

This series chronicles the lives of children who are given the responsibility to run their own world. A world where there is the potential for disaster, yet a praiseworthy sense of accomplishment. Through the playful, lighthearted surface, a deeper question remains: How much responsibility is too much?
