Container of Landscape, Time, and Memory
Witness Tree Project  Wintersession 2021
RISD

This work was exhibited in the Forest Festival at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont

This container depicts the landscape experience and exploration of Marsh- Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont. The lid portrays the park's topography, showing an elevation study of the landscape with the overall shape being the boundary of the park. The bottom of the box is designed in vertical stacking from an increasing size, showing the characteristics of the mountain. Inside the box acts as a time capsule with the natural resources I collected while hiking on Marsh- Billings- Rockefeller National Historical Park. Using the laser cutting method, I want to depict the idea of human intervention of the land in the park's history, contrasting man-made (synthetic) and original. Overall, this box represents the landscape exportation with personal insights, with a jumble of memories for my personal natural collection. This container contains my personal experience of the landscape during my hike at the park.
