the memories we create are time capsule events.
they are a way of reconnecting our future selves to our past selves. the recollection of a memory is like the unveiling of any time capsule event, it can result in revelation or, more commonly, just some perspective.
time capsules are the visual embodiment of a memory.
what does a memory look like? a frankenstein of sewn-together blips of words and imagery, reduced to neurological signals in the brain. some reside in the deeper parts of the hippocampus while others lay out in plain sight, allowing one to easily reach for a casual anecdote.
what does a time capsule look like? it too is a hodge-podge of disconnected objects that are strewn together to create one thing. it is an economized and symbolic expression of the memorialized event. it too is hidden from plain view until the day it is unveiled in the future.
