A Shape Called Love A playful space where babies and caregivers share love through play

This artwork is based on Seong Su-jeong’s picture book <A Shape Called Love>.
It shows many feelings that arise in the close relationship between a baby and a parent.

The mix of joy and pain creates a deep and wondrous kind of love.
Through soft, uneven shapes and pieces made by hand,
the artist expresses warmth, comfort, and the gentle human touch.

Read the picture book <A Shape Called Love> together,
then touch and feel the artworks inspired by its words and images.
Imagine what your own shape of love might be!
