This work is concerned with examining the act of play not only in the context of blissful expressive child's play but equally so in the realm of interpersonal relations and geopolitics. Large-scale pigment prints depict rolled-steel Soviet-era playground structures abandoned in the wooded parklands surrounding the United States Embassy in Sofia, Bulgaria. Image titles are derived from the list of traditional european games depicted in Children's Games by Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1560), equating the playground games of children with the vagaries of statecraft.
