“Room for Play” is the installation of my graduation work as Master student of Contemporary Art. The installation exists in the [in-between] spaces. Memory and material, childhood and queerness, freedom and control. Playgrounds draw me in not only as places of exploration, but as sites where rules are made and broken, where freedom meets structure. I see play not just as an act of joy, but as a form of Resistance: an invitation to imagine, to bend, to slip through the cracks of what is expected. This work attempts to blur those tensions in material form, to make the liminal tangible, to explore queerness as it is lived through objects and public spaces. The playground becomes a stage: It is both memory and metaphor a place to dive into hidden zones: beneath the swings, behind the shed, inside the imagination, where play becomes a language. Queerness unfolds here not in straight lines, but in loops, delays, and detours. The playground remains, not as something left behind, but as a map to elsewhere.
