where I sky by myself

This large-scale installation serves as a metaphorical elevation of the childhood self within the adult psyche. Designed to occupy and transform space, it aims to evoke a sense of awe and emotional resonance in the viewer.

The work is inspired by a hill that stood just outside my grandparents’ apartment—an early symbol of boundless freedom in my memory. As a child, it represented adventure, imagination, and unrestrained possibility. In adulthood, it has become a powerful metaphor for liberation: a reclaiming of playful, intuitive thought in contrast to the often rigid, boxed-in thinking of modern life.

Where I sky by myself invites viewers to engage physically and emotionally with the installation. It is not only meant to be seen, but to be felt—awakening a childlike sense of curiosity, wonder, and inner freedom.

It has been exhibited once but not in the scale I would like it to be.
