Ronnie, you were my baby is a work to analyse the relationship between the abandoned objects from everyday life and the strangers who left them on the road. 

 

The first item I found on the street is a Pacifier with the name of Ronnie. It reminds me of a Nursery rhyme called Rock A Bye Baby On The Tree Top. I use this song in the video to connect these found objects and attempt to cultivate a dream-like imaginary scene for them. Additionally, I made skin-like layers to wrap the items I found, same as the blurry filter in the video to make the objects slightly unrecognisable. 

 

They are pieces of life evidence for someone. I question if an item as a medium to carry intimate memories is easy to be replaced or abandoned? When they are in the exhibition space, space also provides them with new identities and stories, and updated memories between them and the audiences.
