Design Statement
Memories of You is inspired by the melancholy that comes with memories of a loved one, which is explored through the lens of a wind-up ballerina doll. She attempts to find her way back home. Each new environment she explores is steeped with nostalgia of when she was once cherished and held deeply by a child.
Our team interpreted the given soundtrack with a story that emphasizes the music piece’s resemblance to a clock ticking and a melody of a music box. The piece begins with a slow, somberful tone that gradually builds up to a feeling of hope and adventure. Taking these elements, it only made sense to have our protagonist take the form of a wind-up doll around a story that places an emphasis on time.
