1 Three sheeps jumping in a ball pit

Jumping can be a playful and liberating experience, fostering a sense of joy and freedom. It is also a perfect reaction between the movement of time and a surface.

In this practice, we imitated the motion of sheeps on a bouncing surface. Sheeps love to play! To make them happier, we changed the surface to a ball pit. In reality, a ball pit is less paddy than a surface. But in our imitation, they foster movement similarly.
