We often conceptualize history as a linear sequence of ordered events which have finite beginnings and endings. These events are enacted by famous personages whose destiny it is to catalyze key moments or revolutionary ideas. I take a different view. I perceive history as powerful emotions connected by individual experience. For me, this understanding resonates most strongly through photographs, personal narratives, objects and being at places with historical significance.
