Yann-Loü Lara is a self-taught artist and founder of the PLANÈTE ECOLE association, which promotes art and artistic expression throughout the world. For this sculpture, he was inspired by Saint-Exupéry's "Little Prince".
The shape of the sculpture recalls the movement of the character's scarf. He wanted a sculpture "that gives hope, like the school". In creating this project, he involved the schoolchildren in the creation of the sphere, the upper part of the work.
