personal object : a butterfly charm

I was given this butterfly charm by my auntie when I turned 24 years of age. She was dying of cancer. She was only 45 years old.

Why a butterfly?” I asked her.

Because you never have to forget to fly in your life,” she replied.

chosen artwork : Vogue Collage, Chicago    Harry Callahan, c. 1956 printed 1990-99

I’m really passionate about photographs. I really like the idea of the artist putting together lots of different images. Pictures are a different way to remember people or memories.
