Quarantine trapped me back into an oppressive family life. During a rare outing, I retrieved a ceramic piece I had spent a month making. On the way back from a heated argument with my mother about whether to politely reject scam calls, she dramatically left me in the middle of the crossroads and sped away. When I got home, I wanted to imitate my father's punching gesture, so I swung a chisel hammer and shattered it. It was not a relief. Half an hour later, I collected the largest pieces. Now it serves as a sharp candleholder.
Within both private and public survival scenes, I discussed how emotional connections are formed between memory-related objects and the conflict survivors, and how commemorative creative actions encouraged by memories and survival objects activate embodied narratives. Taking inspiration from this, I examined how personal challenges can be discussed through materials, the process of wearing and exhibiting.
