Over the years I have amassed a collection of photographs, postcards, stamps, pamphlets and assorted ephemera. I keep them in a box and every so often, I revisit them to find some creative inspiration, or fall into a rabbit hole of nostalgia for moments I didn’t personally experience. These peeks into the past, unlikely remnants of quotidian matter, beat the odds of surviving decades (even a century!) despite their intended disposability. They ended up in junk shops, estate sales, thrift stores and craft fairs waiting for some sentimental sap like myself to spend a few dollars on them and give them new life.

But even within my collection, over time I felt more and more that they deserved to be shared with others. So here it is: a selection of my collection published online for your viewing pleasure. I call it re:collection. I hope you enjoy these ephemeral delights as much as I have.
