'Play Id!' is a workshop series that attempts to examine the complexity of identity through an interactive and enjoyable approach. Using sandplay therapy as the central method, it invites participants to explore their identity by creating scenarios and playing with sand and toys in trays. The workshop aims to offer people a joyful, relaxing experience while discussing this challenging subject. Participants are encouraged to utilise their creativity by visualising their uniqueness through scenarios which involve self-explorations.

At the start of the workshop, participants are advised to touch and feel the sand first. Then they are free to go through the whole toy collection and select anything that grabs their interest. Most of the toys from the collection are second-hand and acquired from charity shops and flea markets. The organiser sits beside them during the building process and engages in casual conversations about their choices or arrangements. All of the outcomes are later photographed and 3D scanned to keep records in the archive.

The first series of workshops took place in December 2022 and March 2023 at Camberwell College of Art, and each workshop lasted for five days. The majority of participants were students and staff from the university.
