I was asked this question in art. The project seemed simple enough- choose the given object in your life, explain the depth and meaning, draw a picture of it with some fancy narrative. It is due tomorrow, and I have no idea what to do.
There is no object here on earth, in this moment, that I can't bear to loose. So I then thought, ok! let's do the whole "Your house is on fire! what will you save?" thing and I instantly find myself thinking of practical things such as: "My phone... so i can call for help... My ID and stuff... so lets grab my purse... my beloved Bible I've had since I was 10..." Then I thought hey! memories! my journals, pictures...
and as I was thinking of my list I realized that none of this works. They want something that has special meaning to it... my cell phone doesn't exactly fall into the "special meaning" category...
Thus... I may have a crazy and live life detaching myself sentimentally to objects, or just place value on other aspects of life.
So... I'm pretty much planning on finding something and making a story up... or pick something that I like and embellish the origins a tad...
because apparently I'm at loss of ideas.
