Curatorial Statement

Children are known for their free and wild imagination, and having that sense of apprehension and anxiety in a world they are still unfamiliar with, even as they are also known for brash behaviour precisely due to this naive ignorance of the environment. In this sense, the whole world is a playground for children. We recreated this experience in a virtual environment without any introduction or prelude to the piece to invoke the same sense of being in an unfamiliar environment. Unsettling and unusual/unexpected content was also put in to mimic the effects of one having an overactive imagination, and feeling of being in a potentially hostile environment.
