Our theme for this box design is Container for dreams, good and bad experiences that we don't wish to forget. We designed the opening/closing mechanisms to be a sliding panel with slits. The sliding aspect was to imitate eyelids opening/closing movements. The slits were representative of how you cannot see memory all at once, that it's always half-concealed and half-clear.
For our final design, we re-drafted the box and scaled the holes on the sliding shelf the exact dimension of the diameter of the glass vials. We set the tolerance to be 0.3mm all around tracks for sliding motions. We added a sky light for light to enter through the top, so it can allow light to enter the box and enable us to see the contents.
Ideally in the future, the box would be made in a much larger scale, and put into a public space as a display/pubic art piece. Another idea we had was to make it a box of exchange, like "take a vial leave a vial", where we encourage people to interact with this piece.
