'An attempt at solidifying make-believe landscapes' (2026) is a series of object assemblages by Genevieve Leong that continues the inquiry of the artist’s earlier print series, 'An attempt at exhausting a place from my window' (2020-21), where she created 26 variations of a landscape, exploring the various possibilities of looking at a single vantage point. In this follow-up iteration of the work, the two-dimensional forms from the former series are extrapolated into physical object constellations arranged on the ground.

Drawing from the nostalgic vocabulary of children's imaginative play and 'masak masak', a traditional game of make-believe cooking where children use toy pots and pans and imaginary ingredients to mimic a variety of dishes in adult cooking, the work explores the infinite permutations of translating abstracted forms into object landscapes.
