During the pandemic, I got psychogenic response to the Covid-19 vaccine. It got me very depressed with suicidal tendency, which made me think about my body as a container for the soul and what could I leave behind if my body left this world. In order to express my ideal ‘container’, I started my project with researching different forms and materials. To me, the container of the soul carries my thoughts and memory. Here, my work as my essence will carry my identity and memory. It will pass on to the people who are the closest to me like an heirloom. The aim of this project was to leave my trace and memory for the people around me. Whenever they feel sad, I will reappear in the masks I made for them.
