Valentine's falls on 14 Feb 2027 — 168 days away.
The 14th is the one day a year everybody is out buying the same thing. This one is not in the shops: they hold a hand up to the camera, close it, open it, and the photos come forward.
Thousands of points of light in the dark, moved by their own hands through the camera. Close a hand and they draw together, open it and they scatter, bring both hands together for a beating heart, pinch and the photos come forward.
A keepsake book taken one step at a time: crack the wax seal to open it, drop the needle on the record to start the music, drag the slider from then to now. Every step asks for a hand.
