As we continued compiling handwritten notes for 'My Scribbles', the project gradually unfolded into something more than a life story.
What began as conversations slowly expanded into an archive of memory, photographs carefully preserved across decades, handwritten letters, journals, keepsakes, and fragments of everyday life that together carried the texture of a lived experience.
Throughout the process, we found ourselves returning not only to stories, but also to the objects that held them. A photograph became a doorway to an anecdote. A letter revealed an unseen chapter. A small keepsake brought back an entire world of memory.
Building this archive became an act of listening, observing, and piecing together connections between people, places, objects, and recollections. Each discovery added another layer to the narrative, allowing the book to emerge from the material traces of a life remembered and shared.
This archive would eventually become the foundation upon which My Scribbles was written, preserving not only events and milestones, but also the details that give a story its depth, texture, and humanity.
