What if you saved everything you ever had? Will those objects answer the big questions: Who am I? Do I matter? How? And, to whom?.

I believe our personal histories are reflected by the possessions we hold onto the longest. Making friends with new moments, our footprint takes shape from every kitschy souvenir, found object and hand-me-down we keep for the longest time. I step out from under the lengthening shadows of my lifetime, seeking a fresh perspective of what I valued and why. I hope my reflections on the meaning of my ordinary treasures is as relatable and optimistic as yours.
