TOKENS AND TREASURES
Humanity has created charms to ward off evil and attract good fortune since the Bronze age— a practice that has only grown more complex as sacred talismans carved of bone, wood, and shell were exchanged for golden memories and gilded promises.
Yet the sentiment and ritual ultimately remain. We collect and wear charms as a symbol of something greater to believe in. The memory of a sunlit afternoon holding your grandmother's hand, a promise to travel, a reminder to search four-leafed clovers though time trickles ever on.
No matter the material or millenia, we wear charms in hope something more will come.
“Charm is a way of getting the answer ‘yes’ without having asked any clear questions."
Albert Camus
