Museum of Me: Untitled

By Garvika

Object: Dog collar

My dog died in 2014, six years ago. It has been a long time, but I still have his collar.
That’s what makes me remember and commemorate all the memories we have had together. For me, he was very important because I love pets especially dogs. It feels soft, and there is still some fur on it. It smells like dog food and each and every piece of clothing of him is important.

Object: Dancing shoes

Dancing is my passion and I love it. I did my first dance performance when I was 5 or 6 years old. I have done hundreds of shows and performed on many stages. I have so many memories of them but sadly my feet cannot fit in them anymore. When I first got them I was jumping and dancing around, that was the best day of my life.
