The I item I choose is a comb My mother gave me as my birthday gift. When I receive it it surprised me indeed. My mother did not tell m any thing about the gift and the package just arrived  on my birthday.

Actually , in my family we do not care about birthday too much. I seldom receive any gift from my parents on my birthday when I was still stay with them. I have to say that the long distance make us realize the importance of every family member. No matter how far away it is the family is always bond together.

In my work I want to show the family attachment. Because Comb usually go with a mirror.  We usually consider they are a pair. Moreover, The Mirror of Erised in the Harry Potter is a device that you can see what you truly desire. What Harry Potter sees is his parents. So this is also a reason that I want use mirror in my design.

The net represents the bond of the family. I have inherited my parents’ genes so that the mirror is also a reflection of my parents and me.
