My Game centers on a moment of quiet concentration, where play becomes an act of thinking, problem-solving, and self-discovery. A young boy studies a cube in his hands, fully absorbed, his attention directed inward as he works through its shifting logic. The object becomes a metaphor for agency—the idea that even at a young age, one begins to understand how to navigate, rearrange, and make sense of the world. Painted on wood, the work carries a sense of warmth and familiarity, while sunlit color and subtle surface markings echo the atmosphere and visual language of Haiti. Within the Playtime series, the piece reflects a different kind of strength—one rooted in focus, patience, and the early formation of independent thought.
