Invisible Playground presents a collection of sculptural and functional ceramic objects that tells the poignant tale of my lost childhood sanctuary. Rooted in the island of Borneo, my early years were intertwined with the beauty of nature, as I admired the lush greenery of my childhood garden. In 1993, a fire destroyed both the house and the garden. As my father rebuilt, the garden gradually shrank, leaving behind a void. In order to cope, I turned to art, sketching and recreating my imaginary oasis. This collection of artwork represents my personal journey of growth, resilience, and exploration. It intertwines nostalgic memories of losing my cherished childhood sanctuary with reflections on the cultural changes I experienced when I moved to Australia, as well as the evolving ways in which we express ourselves.
