Memories are impermanent and as fleeting and frail as wax.

In Memento, lines of yellowish wax are weaved and crossed to create a structure which resembles the neural system of the brain, like a condensation of the traces of memory. The work integrates with the idea of the cabinet of curiosity. Personal objects are showcased in each slot of the cabinet like a theatre of memory, filling them with the precious traces of CHAN Yin Chi, Candice’s grandfather who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. The cabinet displays her grandfather’s experience, stories, and memories. The encounter and oscillation between the series of personal objects and wax structures interweave a visual sonata that evokes memories.

記憶是無常的、稍縱即逝，如蠟般脆弱。

《憶．記》以泛黃的蠟編織出一個仿如大腦神經系統般的構造物，試圖凝結逝去往事的痕跡。作品結合了珍奇櫃的展示方式。櫃中的每個方格都陳列着個人物品，以記憶劇場形式呈現陳燕孜那患上腦退化症的爺爺的珍貴回憶。展櫃承載着她爺爺的個人經歷、故事與回憶，一系列私人物品與蠟構造物相遇邂逅，交織出一場喚起記憶的視覺奏鳴曲。
