Memento Museum is a multimedia installation and video project that captures five fragments of memory from my past eighteen years—moments that are ordinary yet deeply personal. Each installation reinterprets a childhood scene: eating wontons in the morning, visiting the hospital at noon, playing with bubbles in the afternoon, going to the market with my father after school, and placing a fallen tooth under my pillow at night.
These memories, though fleeting, form a diary of my life—an emotional archive of innocence, growth, and nostalgia. I wanted to materialize them, to transform something fragile into something tangible, allowing memory to linger in physical space. The diary became the central narrative structure, linking the five installations like chapters in a personal story. Through texture, light, and motion, each work preserves what would otherwise fade, inviting the audience to experience both my past and their own reflections within it.
The process taught me that art can turn private memory into collective resonance. During exhibition, I noticed how viewers projected their own experiences onto mine—connecting with the warmth of food, the anxiety of hospitals, or the simple joy of bubbles. I realized that while memories originate from the self, they find universality through emotion.
Technically, this project challenged me to integrate installation, video, and narrative sequencing cohesively. Conceptually, it deepened my understanding of how memory operates—not as static recollection, but as something fluid, dissolving and reforming through time.
Ultimately, Memento Museum became more than a personal reflection; it is an emotional space where time, memory, and art intertwine. The project reminds me that even when memories blur, their emotional traces remain—shaping who we are and who we continue to become.
I am eager to take on new projects, exploring creativity and innovation at the intersection of design, business, and culture.
