I first had to think of three (notice how I scored a couple of extras?) favorite things. I hope it's a lovely still-life. I looked at the project as a story. In the year 2035 a grandchild is given a very old leather suitcase. The story she is told: this suitcase belonged to your great-grandmother, and years ago your grandmother treated it like a time capsule and packed away three (or four) things that had meaning for her. There is a letter, hand-written, that tells a bit about your grandmother, but she hoped that these objects would give you a broader picture of what was important to her and what were some things that shaped her life. Inside the suitcase the grandchild found: a wedding photo in a silver frame, an old toy car, a photo of three young adults, a bald doll, and a yellowed school schedule of some sort. The grandchild took them out, examined them, and pieced together significant pieces from the life of her aging grandmother. Whether the child was correct will never matter. What is important is that she held the objects and gave them life again.
