This piece reflects on the qualities of time and place. It is a snapshot, a snippet of a room. Layers of old wallpaper have peeled back to reveal the history beneath, stained, faded, water-marked, damaged over the years. But they harbour memories. Of hard conversations and laughter. Doors slammed and things not yet discussed. Of prosperous times and scarcity. Of growth and death. Fear and desperation. Mapping the interior makes the journey easier next time.
