Closet embraces our things, past and memories. There are clothes inside with owner's memory as a part of body. Mattress accepts all moves of a person flexibly, and bring to the another world, dream.
Oversized closet, and a piece of mattress formed by a memory. Such mysterious action rouses forgotten memory so that makes us think of a visualized moment of it. As transforming time making the reality through those two furnitures, Radic and Coreea shows it on a stage.
