I decided to make a container in the shape of the front door of my childhood home that could metaphorically hold the love of my people by housing objects that remind me of them. I knew from the beginning that I wanted the piece to be entirely handmade, so I engraved the wood by hand with needle files and a Dremel. This was by far the most time I\u2019ve spent creating a single piece of art, which made me appreciate the piece and the process I went through to complete it. I put my heart and soul into this piece, just as the people at home put into loving me. Past the door-like exterior, the inside of the box has slots that hold shelves, which are able to be moved around to change the layout of the space. I finished the piece off with a light stain, then sanded it down to give it a \u201cworn-in\u201d look. I couldn\u2019t bring any family furniture with me to college, so I did this to resemble pieces at home and symbolize the imperfect nature of my relationships. The box is both a functional storage item and a representation of my loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":15621,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15617","student-work","type-student-work","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-space-materiality"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
