【Workshop(s)】You Are My Transformation Device: Parent-Child Metalworking Ritual

You Are My Transformation Device For this Mother's Day, inspired by the thought that "every mother was once a little girl," we have designed a parent-child creative ritual. During this experience, we will accompany both parent and child as they craft a unique "transformation device" for Mom. Every little girl has dreamed of possessing a magical transformation device—a way to change into the person she wants to be and protect the world. Though we may lack literal magic as adults, what is it that turns a little girl into a mother, protecting her own little world? Is there truly no magic in this world? We have designed different ribbon-tying methods to reflect the various ways each mother gave birth; small hearts symbolize the fetus, with card slots designed based on different fetal positions within the womb. The detachable design simulates the process of the fetus separating from the mother's body and becoming independent. In the creative process, we do not rush to define what love is; instead, we allow parent and child to gradually sense the connection and evolution between them through interaction and creation. I still remember the feeling of you inside me—you would gently poke me, and your hiccups brought tiny vibrations. We were so close, so intimate. Perhaps one day you will grow away from me; until then, let me hold you close, because you are my transformation device. 【What You Will Gain】 1.
