The Fluxus Box assignment called for me to make a container that held items of meaning for a certain context. We were asked to choose a movie to base the Fluxus box on and to create objects that related to themes, deeper meanings, characters, or emotions evoked from the movie. For my box titled, Enclosed Curiosity, I used the movie Howl's Moving Castle. I wanted to covey the fun whimsical parts of the movie and the child-like essence of it through the objects but also bring focus to the castle itself and its mechanical elements. I decided to use felt as a material for the majority of my objects to convey the comforting feeling behind the movie as well as bring in the personality of the characters. The one object that stands out from the others is the clay heart, in the movie Howl retains the heart of a child because of a deal he made with a fire demon. The heart itself plays a major role in the stories plot which is why I wanted to make it from a different material, I also chose to keep the heart small and hand held to convey the childish aspects of it. For the painting of the box I wanted the exterior to be dark and worn out much like the castle and for the inside to be a stark contrast to how the castle looks in the colorful background. The inside of the box was heavily inspired by the landscapes common to Studio Ghibli films with bright colors and soft fluffy clouds.
