I thought about three-dimensional works and various patterns with soft and cosy textures, humorous shapes, and bright colours. By creating a structure in which 2d and 3d are fused, the work is embodied in three dimensions, and it is configured so that viewers can understand it more easily.

Children can explore and enjoy more play in unstructured installations using materials that are easily found around them.

I made my game pattern by referring to repeated shapes of children’s games and playgrounds. This game pattern is expressed as a knit to make pieces of mobile.

All the components of the mobile are connected and combined. This means wishing for solidarity and the bond of the children’s community.

In the playground, children become pirates and go out to the sea, or become princesses and hold parties in the castle. I want to tell the story at the mobile playground so that people can imagine it more creatively. Also, as I felt when I saw Noguchi’s work, I want to work on making people reminisce about their childhood after seeing my knit mobile.

When making components of mobile, I tried to reflect on the feelings that came to mind when I thought of the play. For example, I made various shapes of knit sculptures by making patterns of the dynamism and repetition I felt when I saw the playground. Also, when I think of children, it feels soft, so I used a felting technique.

Based on my research so far, I build my own small mobile playground.
