Trojan Rocking Horse
West Palm Beach, Florida • 16 Jan. — 31 Mar. 2023
An interface between the citizens and city building
Trojan Rocking Horse is a mobile letterbox, designed to gather messages written from citizens to community leaders.
We invite all citizens to reflect upon their living environment and write down their comments and dreams for the future of their city.
Collected messages will become building blocks of further action to make West Palm Beach even better for its inhabitants.

Playfulness + Wisdom
This project utilizes play and curiosity to explore the diversity of culture and wisdom of the local community.
Local children will help design the 8 Trojan Rocking Horse sculptures and once they are materialized, they will go out to the streets of West Palm Beach and mingle with the public, connect with local knowledge and help to embed it in the future of city building.
