Introduction
This project about memory and emotion involves clay installations and animation.
From a personal standpoint, I imagine that in a future world, memories will be tangible and superimposed on the real world. As "present tense" individuals, we will require a special bus to get there. By exploring the vehicle that can carry the emotional connection between myself and my deceased grandmother, military chess, I relive the memories and communicate the joy of the present memory.
The bus that shuttles between the present and the past can be viewed as a spiritual transporter of memories and feelings. In the future, it will be possible to combine past lives and the value of memories through an object that can be conveyed in a narrative manner that inspires and impacts the present, such as instilling a sense of hope and joy. This gives us a chance to re-experience and re-consider our past.
