We Can Go Higher & Play

I Can Go Higher and Play shows a gentle, human-centered approach to the idea of ascent, presenting it as a simple, everyday act, accessible to all. Here, elevation is not depicted as a force defying gravity, but as a subtle gesture, akin to the movement of the body along the seashore: a light step on wet sand, a playful exchange created with the waves.

The work’s horizontal and vertical extension records a moment in which a wave rises to its highest point before returning to where it began. In this sense, the work becomes an invitation to reconsider the notion of transformation. Transformation, as proposed here, does not require spectacle or grand leaps; rather, it unfolds through quiet repetition, echoing the rhythm of the waves as they reshape the shore each time they return. These are small steps, yet their impact is deep and enduring.

Thus, the work invites audiences of all kinds to recognize that transformation does not depend on loud gestures, but on small, repeated actions, just as the sea patiently reshapes the shoreline with every returning wave.

““I Can Go Higher and Play” transforms the everyday gesture of climbing into a poetic reflection on aspiration and possibility, presenting ascent as something instinctive, playful and deeply human.”
