My box is in the shape of a shield mostly inspired by the legend of Zelda Hylian shield seen in popular media. The idea came to me when my friend told me that she liked the Zelda series as much as I do and since I wanted to do a shield shape I chose a shape that would be easily recognizable for anyone who has played a video game in general.
The contents of the box is a necklace that my friend made for me for my 20th birthday, it is a symbol of our friendship and is a personal treasure of mine despite its plain design. I am very protective of the things that other people make for me especially close friends. The necklace influenced my choice of making a shield box because of my protective nature. It not only serves as a recognizable symbol in popular media, but it also serves as a protective vessel than can house anything precious that my friend or I can fit inside of it. After the project I intend to give this box as a thank you gift to my good friend not only as a present but also to let her know that I will personally protect something she holds dear to her even if I am not physically by her side.
