Dominoes' effect on each other is like humans' imitation learning process. Domino will represent human character and various given situations, and the size and materials that make up the dominoes will represent imitation learning. I visually expressed two specific imitative situations through the arrangement and installation of dominoes, and produced a video.

“We try to visually express two imitative situations through dominoes.This is because the appearance of dominoes affecting each other as they pass over has the same concept as human imitation behavior.Situation 1: If the behavior learned through imitation does not fit the situation, there may be problems that do not reflect it. = If there is no specific domino between the dominoes, it indicates that the next domino cannot be knocked over.Situation 2: If you imitate too much, you may repeat the problem of not being able to solve the next problem on your own. = Excessive imitation between dominoes, for example, overprotection or overresponsiveness, is expressed as not being able to solve the next given situation alone or face difficulties.Dominoes represent human character and various given situations, and the size, face, and materials that make up the dominoes represent imitation.”
