“Would You Play with Me?” Synthetic Grass on Seating, Barbed Wire, 2017, Experimental Art

“Would You Play with Me?” is an experimental installation that transforms an ordinary seating object into a tense field between the invitation of play and the presence of danger. The grass-covered surface draws the viewer closer, while the barbed wire interrupts this approach and forces a moment of bodily hesitation—whether to touch, sit, or withdraw. Through this contrast, the work questions how play, freedom, and bodily interaction are controlled and restricted within contemporary public and semi-public spaces.
