OK to Play

OK to Play is an exhibition that explores the development of communication skills through objects and imagery related to play. Invented symbols inspired by English and Japanese letters along with animal characters form the basis of two- and three-dimensional artwork that conveys the joys and struggles of connecting with other people. I made toy-like sculptures from a variety of materials such as wood, fibers, and resin. Viewers are invited to handle the sculptures and explore their textures and sounds. My work aims to provide an environment that encourages viewers to play with the art and other people.
