For 100 days, I have had the absolute pleasure of talking with 100 different people about their very personal, often quirky and always beloved tchotchkes. I have come to understand there is a power in how an object can so easily remind us of something so positive especially in a time when we are confined to our homes and have little inspiration. I hope to have offered a new lens and appreciation for the little yet mighty things in our lives. Thank you to all 100 people for dedicating your time and entrusting your story with me. Working on this project has been a bright spot each day throughout the process and I thank you, all of you, for that. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec4bed255077128e78642b9/t/5f2f46d4f5f70e0fb70d84de/1596933856800/Untitled_Artwork+10.png Tchotchkes - 100. the magic in me https://www.mightytchotchkes.com/about daily 0.75 2020-05-20 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ec4bed255077128e78642b9/t/5ec5788ad1bc132de2266d8e/1589999765020/Kelly_AgainstWall.jpg About - exploring the little things that reminds us who we are are and why we do what we do, one tchotchke at a time. Chances are there is a little object or trinket that is kept close to many people, perhaps in the office or bedroom. It may feel out of place from the rest of the decor or is weathered and torn, but they are likely there for a reason with, encompassed in a deep meaning. For 100 days, I will be asking 100 people to share their tchotchke they keep close and why. I will explore patterns that emerge in hopes of gaining a better understanding of the things that drive our behavior and shape the inner core of who we are.
