Childhood Games emerges between impulse and reflection, drawing from childhood gestures — flying a kite, hiding, playing dominoes — to examine how technology shapes desire, mirrors, and modes of existence.

​

In Kite I, screens become mirrors: smooth surfaces where the body recognizes itself. Play becomes perception.

In Kite II, the mirror fractures; cracked screens return a divided image, a body split between the tangible and the virtual. The glow of technology exposes what it conceals — the seduction and the violence of what we discard.

​

Hide-and-seek, Domino geim and Puzzle explore the encounter between physical and digital — the phygital. The research unfolds into “echo cameras” and the idea of digital bubbles, where everything returned is a reflection of one’s own gaze. The navel appears as a symbol of origin and excess, marking the tension between presence and disappearance. The game extends beyond the visual, revealing how much we show — and how deeply screens permeate our being.

​

In Chess between colonies, an installation, all pieces are black, shifting the game from competition to encounter. Each carries half a symbol that only completes itself in relation. The board merges gold and oil — materials that drive the digital world, invoking value and extraction. The contemporary colonial game plays out not on land, but through data, behavior, and attention.

Between mirror and play Childhood Games transforms childhood into inquiry — an invitation to look, to question, and to resist.
Consciousness becomes a form of resistance.
