“The Voices of Children” is a project that demonstrates empathy and interaction between children and the environment. In 2006, I taught children about environmental protection and recycling through art at rural schools, where we created sculptures together. The children brought discarded items from home and transformed them into decorations or items needed in daily life. These creations were later installed as sculptures.
Traveling to various rural schools, I learned diverse perspectives on the environment from students. This volunteer project was commissioned by Curator Ju Hyeon-young of the Gail Art Museum.

My young students and I collected discarded PVC pipes and created a jungle gym that transmits voices. The jungle gym features PVC pipes that allow participants to hear and communicate with each other. Additionally, we incorporated an artwork made of pinwheels created by the children during environmental education sessions. This sculpture was installed in the school playground where the children who collaborated with me can enjoy it.
