Missed Connections
This Window Project is an interpretation of lists that I received in response to a Craigslist Missed Connections post in which I asked the question "What do you like?" These lists are the impetus for the creation of the objects presented here. They represent the desires, fascinations, and fantasies of the anonymous.
I have never met the respondents to my Craigslist post, so I created identities for them based off of their responses. With those imaginary identities in mind, I made these objects with the hope of extending a connection between the respondents and another audience.
