Sculpture of Toys by jyokota

Sculpture of Toys

Remember how I said that Nami Island is a place where imagination, playfulness, and culture are interwoven in nature? Here's another example. Children were encouraged to bring toys to contribute to this sculpture, and thereby become co-creators of art. Can't you imagine the pride children feel when they see something of their included? Or others who recognize same/familiar play things and sense a connection to it? As pieces become weathered and damaged, they can be replaced, and it's another example of a "living" piece of art. It sure adds a bright touch to an otherwise cold and melting-snow-muddy day.
Interesting & different image

What an amazing idea...and I am sure, as you say, that kids will connect so much more by donating or recognising an article!
