Collected by Jermaine Dacas, aged 10–14
What we collect and own says something about us and our lives. Anything we group together can be a collection.
Over four years, Jermaine spent his pocket money on nearly sixty figures from his favourite TV programme. He acted out his own stories with them, as well as scenes from the show.
