The stylized shipping crate that Love-McCorkle developed for the artwork was made using hardware bought specifically for the container and leftover plywood that was purchased in 2024 for a non-permanent cosmetic renovation project that did not reach completion. The crate was painted using craft paint gifted to her by one of her sisters, sealed using floor varnish leftover from the aforementioned project, and padded using styrofoam found set out near recycling bins in her neighborhood.
