it-self

I had a piece of sticky tape, about 5 cm, that I kept for 2 years. I didn't know why. Just couldn't get rid of it.

A decorative anchor made out of scrap metal. I found it in our class when I was a little boy.

It a small jar filled with dry flowers. It's basically the symbol of an era.

A seemingly ordinary box.

An old shot glass...

Objects are our emotional companions in the world, witnesses to our past and present, and our connectors to people, places and experiences. We keep them, sometimes without knowing the reason, sometimes because it reminds us of a loved one, a difficult time that has passed or a memory of a person that we were. They are in our drawers, in pockets of an old jacket, in a box moving from house to house, or in our luggage even when we go to never come back.

But who knows the secret to these objects? Maybe you want to make the stories to be heard, without anyone hearing them! Just go to this tree and each time tell them about an object that you feel connected to. The tree won't judge, won't respond. They will just hear. Next time you come back to the tree, it's all there...
