The nickname given to my grandfather was ‘Papa Jon’ when I was young. That’s how we referred to him. What someone is called infers their relationship to others. When my cousins were young, one of them referred to our grandmother as ‘Grandma Tow-Truck’ this name stuck and it’s been a name used to refer to her throughout their childhood.
Names come and go. Dynamics and relationships change. I’ve always been fascinated by time travel, but I believe really what I’m fascinated with is the way I feel when images from the past invoke nostalgia.
I’d like to create a platform as an open door to the past to invoke that feeling of magic in others.
Names aren’t given to describe ourselves. Names are given to describe our relationship to others.
P.S. I wish I could snap my fingers and have this project be completed perfectly the first time before launching it to the public. This project isn’t perfect, but I hope it’s good.
