This exhibit was created as I reflected on the experience (over several years) of sorting and packing up objects that my parents left behind after they died. This can be a challenging and sometimes mysterious endeavour. There are so many decisions about what to keep and what to discard and how. Some of these choices were straightforward. Some not so much. Why was it relatively easy to find new homes for things that others might value more than I did, while the prospect of throwing away a cache of bobby pins felt next to impossible? I am intrigued about what I found that I valued and why. In conversations with others, I have come to realize that this is a life experience shared by many.
