After my grandmother passed away, I felt really depressed and started to recall the moments of our time together. However, most images of her are blurry. I know the memories are there, but I just can’t remember them. I decide to make a container to express this sorrow and empty feeling.
The container is in a cube form and built up with hollow sterling silver circles. The sizes of the circles are various in order to represent different memories of my grandmother and I. I also set diamonds on the container to represent the important events that I remembered and meant a lot to me. Inside of the hollow container is a cylinder shape container, and inside the container has the photo of my grandmother and I. The hollow circles represent all different memories I want to hold and keep inside my mind. Sadly, as time passed by, those memories will be gone. Just like this container, it meant to cover and keep something important inside but nothing can be actually put and keep in there. The only thing left is the structure of the container, just like all that is left is the faded memories of grandmother and me. The cylinder container represents that in my deepest heart, how important she meant to me. Luckily, there is an evidence of her was being alive and the good time we spent together. The whole container is a memorial piece for my grandmother and all those faded memories. It represents my grief, my emptiness and my hope.
