Opening the invitation, is the following,
Clutching onto the two front panels of your shirt,
holding on tight, with their slight power and shear will.
They’ll always embrace you, no matter where you decide to go.
They’ll always try their best to keep things in place, no matter how strong the wind is. Always there, without a word, without a blink of notice.
Until they’re lost in somewhere, someday, somehow.
Our littlist protector, they are the small things that remain silent, yet ever-present.
The small, quiet, but essential.
I would like to intive you to exchange buttons with me.
Take a button from my button box, with buttons left by someone else.
I’ll sew them onto your shirt, while taking one from you.
A brief words of exchange will follow also follow, for the story of the button to unraval.
A little send off, a new beginning.
I find it important to give out physical invitations, this project starts with the physical of the button; therefore the invite should be something physical and hold more weight than pass of words, it's a tool to solidify the encounter for the project.
The scenography of the project starts from the very encounter--- invitation.
It is to already set the scene, the frame, the story.
By conducting individual sessions and experimenting, it started occur to me the importance of the "story", it provides the participants context for their expectations,
making the guiding process of the conversation much approachable.
