Memories can often impede an individual's ability to move forward, leading to a state of emotional stagnation. Through the ritualistic process of creating depersonalized artifacts, the Cocoon House project aims to help individuals understand these emotions and their sources. The project encourages individuals to establish a new relationship with their memories, providing them with the knowledge and tools to navigate their emotions and memories in a way that allows for personal growth and development.
For exhibition, I obfuscated my identity as an artist and presented the project as an organized entity. I employed diverse visual, auditory, and interactive methods to enhance audience trust and engagement. To ensure confidentiality, I offered submission envelopes and secrecy stickers on-site to ensure a sense of safety for the viewers. My space had three walls and utilized a chair that could envelop and immerse the participant. Throughout my year of exploration, experimentation, and eventual exhibition, I transcended my identity as an artist to explore different perspectives in artistic expression and audience engagement.
