Ugly duckling thus went on a journey in search of love and belonging.
When we hear the story of ugly duckling, it's often emphasized that the ugly duckling eventually turns into the most beautiful bird - a swan,
which gained him admirations from everyone else. In real life, the journey of finding one's identity and belongings don't necessarily reflect in looks or others' opinions.
In our version of Ugly Duckling, we want to keep the emotional core of finding one's belonging, while defying the turning beautiful narrative.
Our duckling will not change its appearance. Ever. It takes the form of a rubber duck.

the ugly duckling can only find its place where it feels happy about itself, despite the noises and loneliness of the world.
