When I was collecting things at first, I found a lot of old items. They were probably my toys from when I was a child or something like that. My parents even remembered clearly who gave them to me, but those people have long disappeared from my life. So I hope to try to start from these items to discuss whether objects can serve as carriers of memory and how they can transcend linear. So I went to the house where I lived with my grandparents in my childhood to search for the memories of some items. My grandparents have passed away, and no one has been to that house for decades. I found my grandma's old sewing machine, my childhood dolls, and even cigarette butts left by family members after they smoked during the memorial service after my grandma's death and i think The objects lay there quietly. But Once, these things were all daily necessities, and it seemed that we were the masters of the items. Now, they have become living narratives.
