SWING

Memory Project series 

This sculptural installation presents four iconic swing designs—a stick, a car tyre, a rope hoop, and a plank—crafted from glass and fiberglass resin. Each swing is suspended mid-motion, as if frozen in time while someone is mid-swing, and installed directly onto the wall. The swings are tethered with white nylon ropes, meticulously coated in resin to capture a moment of dynamic movement and evoke a sense of suspended nostalgia.

The use of glass and resin as materials imbues the work with themes of fragility and transience. Glass, with its reflective, transparent qualities, serves as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of memories—beautiful, but fragile and potentially hazardous when handled carelessly. Similarly, resin preserves the swinging motion, suggesting the act of remembering as both an effort to hold onto a moment and an acknowledgment of its delicate impermanence.

Though evocative of play and childhood freedom, the swings are rendered inaccessible. As static objects, they become vessels of memory rather than functional items, inviting viewers to project their own experiences and emotions onto them. The absence of physical interaction underscores their fragility while emphasizing the tension between memory’s vivid presence and its intangible, fleeting nature.

The Swing Project thus blurs the line between utility and art, memory and materiality, encouraging introspection about the transient, fragile essence of personal experiences.
