Tong, Tak, Pang, Tik, Tung, Taang
Between my apartment and my studio, there are several sports fields. Along the way, I would hear a variety of sounds—people playing with balls. During the lockdown, those sounds fell silent. I wanted to feel those impulses again and began exploring nine different types of ball sports. For over a year, I researched the sounds of nine different types of balls—until the balls began to move in my mind. I wanted to experience this imaginary game in real life as well.
