Vessels for Memories

This project is a celebration and expression of the human ability to add sentimental value to any object - even one as seemingly mundane as a sock. The essence of sentimentality was explored by gathering stories from people about what objects they cherish most and why. Repairs and alterations to the socks become representative of memories taking hold, reshaping the function of the original object. It realises the new value added to the object, one that exceeds currency and thrives on the cherished memories attached.
