In reflection of the brief, Heo asked herself ‘So, what is slow? Slow doesn't mean stop. Slow seems to have stopped, but it is still changing. And it isn't immediately noticeable, but by recording, we know. What is changing without us noticing? What would you like to record and remember?’

She was inspired by historic Korean culture for her sculptural storage system. Traditionally, a tree was planted every time a baby was born. It would grow over time and become their playground, shelter and a companion and end its life as a piece of furniture or a coffin, uniting their lives together.

RE;collection is an object that will grow over time with the user, acting as a storage space for memories and stories, keeping your most valuable items safe.
