An heirloom which contains heirlooms—a fabrication project inspired by the idea of eternity; infinite or unending time.
Inspiration
What is eternity in context to my life?
Symbols of eternity in different cultures
Passing down of trinkets, jewelry from my mother; me potentially passing them down in the future
Process
I picked the Tree of Life as the symbol on my heirloom box as it has been a symbol I've seen and connected with throughout my life because of my mother. Since this is a project which is dedicated to her and I, I thought it would be the most meaningful and appropriate symbol of "eternity" to contain our heirlooms.
"Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity"
- Rumi
