What would i save in a fire?

Home

All of us find ourselves surrounded by an array of objects throughout our lives, a majority of which serve mostly functional purposes in our lives. But among these practical possessions, you can often find many random objects that hold a special place in our hearts. These items might seem insignificant to others, yet they are imbued with emotional and personal significance that seems to transcends their material value. Reflecting on this unique attachment, I've come to appreciate the idea of creating a digital archive for these objects, in this case following the prompt of what I would save in the event of a fire.
