The Emotional Fallout of the Discovery
As work on renovation continued, they grew to reflect even deeper on the emotional implications of their findings. Those items hidden behind the wall seemed to offer them a very special connection with those who had once lived in their home. They began feeling an unusual responsibility to pay respects to the lives and memories of these people, which preserved the history that had been so carefully concealed within their walls.
They realized that the artifacts change the perspective of the renovation process. The working project to modernize their house became an objective to respect and celebrate its history. For the couple, a new respect was established towards the house, seeing it as a place in which many lives have unfolded over the decades. This connection to the past imbued their work with meaning and pride.
It was in those peaceful times spent while wondering that they asked themselves if the future occupants of the place would ever be able to “see” the ways through which these objects are kept so “beautifully.” Did they feel the same way about the place? That was how inspiration was sparked in them to document everything carefully and build a story that would reach the future and energize and connect with the next generations to come.
