Since the development of technology, human being were trapped into ‘their own cave’. In this case, traditional (analog) games that replaced by digital game which has  change human condition into more individualistic, narcissistic, less emphatic.

The artwork was a  site-specific work, where the gallery space transformed into a ‘backyard’ atmosphere,
then the audiences were invited to recall their memories by experiencing the traditional game made from ceramics.

The audiences may write their hope(s) on the colorful note papers, then hang them into the object shape like clouds, stars, sun.
