Life in a Suitcase
After moving into my apartment, which was the bottom floor of a very old house, I found a suitcase left behind with all sorts of items. In these items I found a diary of an older woman who used to live there. I decided to make a book about the suitcase and the items in it. I took photographs of all the items in the suitcase and using Photoshop I “burned” the pages written in the diary onto the floor the items were photographed in. I want- ed it to look like the history still lived in the house, like the memories were etched. I sewed the cover to look like the suitcase and give it a personal look.
