Canopic Jar (Brooklyn Musuem Project)
This project is inspired by the Egyptian Collection in the Brooklyn Museum. It’s goal is to reveal the mystery within Egyptian Canopic Jars typically associated with burial in ancient Egypt. There are four Canopic Jars that can be opened to reveal the secrets inside the jars.
To make people understand more about the Egyptian Canopic Jar, I decided to make a set of Jars that resemble the actual canopic jars and make the object accessible to the public. I am very into the idea of an interactive museum where the objects can be touched by the viewers. I believe the hands-on experience can help the viewers learn and remember the piece.

Project Reflection
I started my project from fall 2020, and I was intending on finishing the project during the spring. I worked at a costume concrete company so this would be a great opportunity for me to create something in this material.
I am satisfied with what I had come up with such a limited amount of time and resources. And if there is an opportunity in the future that I can make this project in real life I would like to be able to do it.
