amo: the burning house

If your house was burning, what would you take with you? It’s a conflict between what’s practical, valuable and sentimental. What you would take reflects your interests, background and priorities. Think of it as an interview condensed into one question.

List: (clockwise-ish from top)
• Egon Schiele picture. The one thing in my apartment that would remind me of my apartment and how much I adore it.
• Tiny notebook I keep of the little things I see and experience that bring me joy.
• Franny & Zooey. One of my favorite books and a stand-in for three other things I would take with me which would be:
• My cats—Franny, Zooey, and Esme.
• My box of finished, unfinished, and half-finished writing. Under it:
• My laptop computer.
• My wallet.
• My passport.
• My box of incense and old love notes.
• My camera.
• A pair of pants and a shirt. (In case I happen to be sleeping in the nude when the fire breaks out.)
• Condom. A person should always be prepared.
• Photos. As many as I could possibly carry.
