By creating a new kit of parts from the three previous containers to form a part to the whole chamber, we merged separate pieces to form one, new structure without losing the identity of the original objects. This approach is an amalgamation of found objects. The chosen objects: a pear, the beckoning cat or “maneki-neko”, knight chess piece, and teapot, were kitbashed to form a growing and climbing chamber that resembles the feeling of a bush in nature and the objects form a story of one spending leisure time in a garden. The openings to the chamber were formed around the shapes of the bodies of students in our section and the voids are intertwined to connect with the other parts which form the larger chamber.
