In an era obsessed with definition and clarity, we often overlook the vague, shifting, and inexpressible parts of ourselves. This project creates a quiet space—a container for the undefined self—offering a moment to be alone with what cannot yet be explained. A portable ritual object built with leather and scent, designed to carry the flow of memory and emotion. Leather records traces of time like the body does, while printed visuals blur and diffuse, echoing inner fluidity and uncertainty. The structure holds incense and releases fragrance slowly, allowing a calm and continuous rhythm to unfold. 在這個講求分類與定義的時代，我們習慣用測驗與標籤認識自己，卻常忽略那些模糊、不穩定、說不出口的真實狀態。這件作品是一個為「無法被定義的自我」所設計的容器，讓人在日常中，與自己暫時共處，安放那些還未說清楚的感受。 作品以皮革與氣味建構出一個可攜式的線香儀式空間，承載記憶與情緒的流動。皮革隨時間改變、記錄使用痕跡，如同身體延續時間的痕跡；印刷圖像呈現模糊與擴散的視覺語言，象徵內在的變動與不確定性。結構設計讓線香得以安置並緩緩釋放氣味，營造出安靜、持續的陪伴節奏。
