Everything comes from somewhere
View Everything comes from somewhere in a larger map
All of the things in my room have their own specific place of origin and story, because really, nothing in my room is organic or natural (besides a little bit of dirt on my floor.) It was all in some way created, made by a person or a machine. In a world where working conditions can often be sub-par, I wanted to see if my things stood up to the test of quality. Of the ten I researched, three of my items were made in Asia, while five were made in the United States (zoom in close to New York to see all three items.) The remaining two were both made in Europe.
It's interesting to look around and realize that these things in my room come from around the world. Other people worked hard to create them, and their lives are dependent on these jobs of production. To me, it's just another testament to the interconnection of the world. So what about you, do you know where your things were made?

You make a really good point. I dont think we often realize how connected we truly are to the world, as we each live in our own little bubble.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing...I was actually just looking through my room and already there was so much I saw that was from all over the world..pretty cool stuff
