Tento tento is a workshop based installation created for kindergarten children. Transparent acrylic hemispheres are suspended inside tents, and children freely decorate their surfaces. When illuminated, the colors glow from within, and drawn shapes expand across the surface. Touching and seeing overlap, and the space transforms improvisationally. Each tent is built around themes such as “universe,” “sky,” or “sea,” allowing the children’s imagination to manifest as landscapes of light. Rather than presenting a finished work, the installation establishes a structure in which phenomena emerge through collaboration with participants.
