Everyday Writing Museum

Everyday Writing should be honored holistically from individual writings in a museum. There would be postcards, photos of graffitti, love letters, old napkins with notes on them to the waitress. There would be everything and anything that would be unique, handwritten and from the heart. I would build the museum in the shape of a human heart- not the cartoonish heart. My reasoning for this architecture is to exhibit how human these writings are and how essential they are to their owners' lives. Visitors will follow the path from the entrance through the Vena Cava, to the right atrium and right ventricle. This side of the museum would have old napkins, lists, and photos of graffiti. Then, the path leads through the pulmonary artery, where postcards from throughout history are located. Then, the path leads to the left atrium to reveal the beginnings of love letters- be it to a significant other or to a loved one. From there, the path leads to the left ventricle, where there are letters of fall outs, arguments, real life issues of the heart. But it gets better, the path passes through the Aorta, out towards the exit where there are postcards, writing on napkins, notes where the topic is of forgiveness and reconciliation. Through this museum, the museum goers will see and experience the constant shifts in life and leave knowing that life will get better and we will get through this.
