In her article, Tessa Love presents us a small archive of memories from objects lost in wildfires.
After a fire, the only things left are the memories and the burnt smell.

We build our lives with things, and that is why we mourn lost objects.
"Our objects are infused with our singular existence—memory, story, sentiment, belonging. They hold and write our histories, helping us explain ourselves to ourselves." Tessa Love
