ideation for WIP show
Building on the memory postcards we’ve collected, we’re exploring a book-like format, where each page unfolds a different story. Since this is an exhibition, we’ve designed it in a Z-fold structure, creating a dynamic 3D display on the wall.
To add a playful touch, the back of each panel is painted yellow—not only as a nod to the library’s signature color, but also to create a subtle yellow reflection on the wall, adding warmth and depth to the space.

WIP SHOW result
To make the project more engaging, we’ve added a collection box at the exhibit, inviting visitors to share their own memory postcards. This allows the archive to keep evolving, turning it into a living, collective experience that grows with each new contribution.

Inspired by the Japanese fortune sticks, this interactive installation invites visitors to write their own memory postcards and drop them into the box. In return, they randomly pick another postcard—just like drawing a fortune!
What you receive could be a fun fact, a local history snippet, or a heartwarming memory from someone else. Maybe it’s something that makes you smile, or perhaps it connects you to a shared past. It’s part surprise, part storytelling—turning personal moments into a collective experience.
This shadow box recreates a street scene, where visitors can draw or write memory postcards and insert them inside. As memories accumulate, the scene evolves, letting visitors see and engage with others' experiences—turning personal recollections into a shared community story.
