THE THINGS WE CARRY.
It started as a box.
Something to carry with me. Something that would appear in every place, slowly collecting evidence that we’d been there.
A boarding pass. A sticker. Something found. Something given. Something I probably should have thrown away but didn’t.
By the end, it had become a sort of travel diary.
I’ve always liked objects that show where they’ve been. The suitcase with an old luggage tag. A receipt left inside a book. A hotel key you discover six months later in the pocket of a jacket.
We tend to think souvenirs are the things we buy.
Sometimes they’re just the things we don’t throw away.
In Transit.
