Cultural Preservation: Flea Markets and the Undeniable Relationship between Human & Object
From its creation, every object has a history. A past, present and future exist for any tangible object when a human cultivates a relationship with it, or, ultimately shares a life with it.

I intend to embrace the active relationship that exists between object and human through the curation of objects found at flea markets, and subsequently generating and gathering content and design based on my experience with the aquisition of the object, the people I meet along the way, and the personal memories I bring to the object.

Through brand, design, and the production of an original publication, I explore the idea of flea markets as a means of cultural preservation and the role of memory, truth and environment in the physical and emotional connection experienced with an object that has been previously owned.
