My project, titled "Memory Enclaves," involved creating a virtual space using childhood photos of my parents from the late 1950s and an heirloom najeon-chilgi (나전칠기) or Jagae(자개) jewelry box passed down to me by my grandmother. The jewelry box is a type of lacquerware inlaid with mother-of-pearl and colorful pieces of shellfish. Using these materials, I constructed a virtual space that simulates being inside or a part of the jewelry box and allows for the exploration of different ancestral memories.
