The play is based on the true story of the author’s young son, Benjamin, who was born with congenital hemophilia which led to AIDS-related complications. However, Benjamin is able to transform the world around him with his gifted artistic talents by turning his feelings into pictures filled with shapes and colors. While turning his world into his canvas, Benjamin teaches his family and everyone in his life a valuable life lesson.
