Everything, in time.

Beyond the mere passage of days, this endeavor delves into the profound relationship between humans and time, emphasizing the act of recording life as a way to navigate the vast ocean of existence.

Each tote bag serves as a tangible canvas, meticulously sewn with the date, location, and weather of the city where I stayed, transforming into a chronicle of existence. This meticulous attention to detail is symbolic of the intricate nature of human life, where each moment is a thread in the grand tapestry of existence. It's a reminder that life, much like art, is a creation, where every stroke and every stitch contributes to the masterpiece.

In essence, these bags become vessels of existence, capturing moments that may otherwise be ephemeral, slipping by unnoticed in the relentless march of time. They not only commemorate the best and worst days but also facilitate a deeper understanding of life's purpose. They remind us that the act of recording itself is an attempt to make sense of our journey through time, to derive meaning from the tapestry of moments that constitute our lives.

In an era marked by unprecedented global events, these bags have become silent witnesses to history. They've borne witness to the resilience, the fear, the hope, and the uncertainty that have defined our times. Beyond their utilitarian function, these bags have transformed into profound vessels of reflection, encapsulating the evolution of our collective human experience.

This ongoing project represents a legacy, a priceless inheritance intended for my daughter, Amie. I hope it is more than just a collection of bags, but rather a repository of values and a guide to navigating the complex labyrinth of existence. It's a tool for seeking the elusive purpose of life itself.

As the project continues to evolve, it underscores the timeless wisdom that, much like the bags themselves, life is a vessel meant to be filled with experiences, memories, and a profound connection to the natural world. Ultimately, it beckons us to contemplate the deep philosophical questions about life's purpose, the nature of time, and the legacy we leave behind for future generations.
