The set of the immersive audiovisual show features a white cube with another slightly smaller one inside it. The form is repeated in the wooden stools meant for viewers. Resonating with the framelessness of VR, the visuals sweep across walls, floor and ceiling, going against the conventional notions of framing images.

Asked if the setting is meant to remind viewers of a mausoleum, Tsang notes that the texture and color of the white-cotton walls do indeed exude a funereal vibe.

"The cube is a key element, both in the VR piece and immersive installation," she adds. "The box framing represents the folding and unfolding of memories. It's also a reference to the daily rituals performed by Wong (in memory of Khek)."
