Me and My Broken Heart
I choose a box of a mirror.
First of all, it is because there is a 敬 in my name, so you can call me 敬敬 or 鏡子, and that’s my instagram account mirror.271. Second, being an emotional person, my mind is as fragile as a mirror, so you can see there’s a ‘fragile’ label, like I just dropped a course because the teacher was too strict that i can’t bare it .And then you can see some cuts and tape on the box, those are the marks from when I pieced myself back together.
Third, this sticker is a shipping label, my old home address and school address are listed above, because i just moved into the dorm on September second, and 710-1 is my dorm room number, also the phone number that can contact me. Last, made in Taiwan (Taipei) because i born in Taipei and live in Taipei, actually (中正district) because the hospital where I was born, as well as my kindergarten, middle school, and high school, are all in Zhongzheng District.
I often joke that I have a fragile heart (though it's true), which happens to align with my nickname: "Mirror." This became the inspiration for my idea.
The boxes originally had some information on them. I initially planned to cover it with cardboard-colored paper, but then I thought I could use tape to cover it instead, extending it into the concept of mending my own soul.
The shipping label was originally just an ordinary one, but I changed the address to go from my old home to the school. This symbolizes my move to a new environment, and because I'm not yet adjusted, my soul feels fragile.
