The Silver Cabinet
For as long as I can remember, our childhood home?in the living room?had what we called "the silver cabinet."
In it, a colorful collection of objects had accumulated that were meant to be seen. Delicate porcelain figurines, gleaming crystal glasses, colorful trinkets. Valuables, but also everyday items, knickknacks. It was a treasure trove, a showcase too.
For several years now, this silver cabinet has stood proudly in my living room. Its former contents have vanished. The cabinet is now filled with my own memories. Of distant travels, pleasant outings; special events, and beautiful friendships.
One fine day in 2025, I photographed everything in my silver cabinet and then traced those photos with a pencil. Speaking of melancholy and longing?
