Meager Items Offering, Inviting a Glimpse of Something More

Nilofeur, tucked away in her small subletted studio apartment in Philadelphia, surrounds herself with objects and symbols that both hearken back to her previous life and take on a new life with her here in America. Some are newly discovered and some stole away from home back in Delhi. Each item weighs heavy with remembrances, each provides a new pathway into her memories and thoughts, each invites deeper investigation.

For example: How far can a spice box take you?
How could one delineate a path through smell. How would a whiff remind you of some place far away, something that you loved or something that got stuck in your mind.
How would you reconstruct/deconstruct it. Would there be an image/ a broken string of words that would mean/feel something like that fleeting whiff?
