| A wearable outfit that explores storytelling. | ||
| Personal Statement: | A girl who has always been fascinated by storytelling.
A girl who always pushes the limits. A girl who looks back while dreaming about the future. | |
| Context: | An autobiography on my birth city, Taishan, and on my memories and relatives who are still living there. | |
| Audience: | Age 10 to 100. | |
| User Scenario: | Look and play. Think, ask questions, listen, and smile.
The viewers can get an impression of my city through the movie bag. They learn about the stories of my relatives through lifting some fabric on the skirt, and they also experience my childhood memory of shells through the glowing shell necklace. | |
