We experience the world through sensations.
Therefore, our memories are sensorial.
Multisensory Design:
HK Memories, 2022 - 2023
Capstone Project. Placemaking. Research.
Using Hong Kong as the main study, this project aims to recreate a local experience (in Vancouver) away from the place of origin. It is a series of experiments and research exploring the idea of placemaking at a distance. Working with personal memories, this project is curious about finding different ways of making to reflect lived experiences.
It is also an investigation in Multisensory Design, exploring the possibilities of designing beyond the visuals. This project is a curiosity on communication and experience design, challenging the boundaries of context understanding and emphasizing the iterative creative process over execution outcomes.

Illustrating a collection of portraits and narratives
People swinging by, arriving and departing
Places constructing and deconstructing
Time and memory as the only constants
Continuously traveling through time
Packing experience as we situate in different spaces
Gifting as love, sharing as kindness
Finding home through chaos and complexity
Effortlessly burning our own incense
Desperately holding onto its ashes
Fumes vanishing quietly, ashes falling as relics
Against all wind and rain, to withstand the test of time
Wandering through lively streets of happenings
Finding our tunes and rhythms
Signified by the familiarity of every footprint
Living in orchestrations of generational harmonies
Preserving our time and experience
Best wishes as they live beyond our existence
Evidence of our presences and identities
Passing stories and traditions beyond our grandchildren
Positioning in a capsule of echos, frozen in time
To be reminded of our origin and consciousness
We experience the world through sensations
Therefore our memories are sensorial
記敘影像與描述
人來人往聚和散
地標建立和解構
但只有時間和記憶是永恆
不斷在時間中穿梭
在各地累積經驗
以禮為愛，共享為善
在混亂之中尋找家鄉
緩緩燃燒起香
拚命保存香灰
煙悄悄地溜走，剩下的只有灰
不懼風雨，對抗時間考驗
在熱鬧街道上遊蕩
找尋我們的曲調和節奏
用熟識的腳印為指引
活在多代人的編曲中
保存時間和經驗
送上美麗的祝福
這種身份的見證
將故事和文化傳下去
這刻在時間錦囊中
喚醒我們的根源和心情
憑知覺去體驗世界
因此記憶是感官的
