Two suitcases,2023
This project is intended to convey the importance of the small, ordinary objects that surround us in our lives (especially at times of major life transitions), whether they are packaged objects or more obvious mementos, they are intensely personal and are just as important as the memories, people, and environments that we experience. Cherishing them is even one of the few ways we can realize these.
Through our review of the meanings of things we can see that behind simple things, there are always deep stories and memories surrounding them, for people moving (mainly for people settling in a foreign country) in the case of the international student in this project, the items we bring with us may be limited by the environment in which we are living, the baggage allowance and the limitations of the international courier, which make it impossible for us to bring all of our possessions with us, and in the process of sifting through them we may be limited by the external environment. In the screening process, we may be limited by the external environment, for example, because of COVID-19 or some special diseases bring a lot of masks, food, medicine, toiletries, etc. They are used to help people avoid the unfamiliarity of a foreign country when they are not able to buy the daily needs to provide a period of life security. At the same time, we will also bring home used sheets, dolls, and other items to provide a sense of security, and to help create a sense of familiarity in an unfamiliar environment. At the same time, some international students who choose to stay in a foreign country for a long period will bring more items related to their family and friends to provide a sense of remembrance and nostalgia. The number of souvenirs that a person carries varies depending on the length of time he or she has been in a foreign country, but it is undeniable that these souvenirs can provide a certain degree of comfort (especially in a foreign country). Regardless of the type of object or its function, these everyday objects always accompany us silently in their way.
