Objects we find or collect and are given or inherit can be a connective tissue that binds us to the history we have or make. We stash them in boxes or drawers, display them in the spaces of our lives or misplace them. Or common in the world we inhabit, the tissues of these personal museums can be lost to homelessness, fires, extreme weather events and war.
