when I was a child, I could never bring myself to throw away the boxes that came with gifts. To me, wooden boxes have always carried a double life: ordinary containers on the outside, yet secret chambers of the past within. Opening them often feels like unlocking time itself—memories rushing out in fragments, tender and dissonant at once.
In my ongoing Memory Box Series, I treat boxes and drawers as intimate stages. Inside, I assemble hand-sculpted stone clay figures and found objects, arranging them like actors in a silent play. Each piece becomes less a container than a hidden theater of memory—where stories are not told in words, but suggested through presence, placement, and quiet encounters between objects.
