“toys allow us to understand the constructs of learning," lam states. as toys are among the first things that appeal to children's senses, their choice of toys can be seen as a documentation of their learning process. however, when adults play with toys, the complexity increases, with the added burden and benefit of personal histories and memories. it is this experience that elevates the toy from a child's object to a symbol of knowledge accumulation. lam seeks to pose questions about artistic and creative processes through the act of playing.
