Shantytowns are experiencing large-scale demolitions. Sometimes people move in a hurry and objects of life are left behind in these places. The Book of Rites says that these remnants show traces of the owners. For instance, a cup will have the "lip print" of its owner. A letter will have the "handprint" that its owner left. Remnants have their own lives and carry the feelings or memories of their owners.

​

I brought back many remnants from the shantytowns under demolition, imitated the situation of a family of three to create a space, and fictionalized a family diary written from a child's perspective on old paper. I tried to recreate and maintain the memory of a region and an era. Other objects are placed on the desktop along with some photos showing the original environment.
