We decided to create a time capsule, a small treasure that will be sealed inside a wall of the Casa do Campinho.
A simple gesture, but one that will connect the present with the future and leave a message for those who will one day discover our capsule.
What's inside?
Our time capsule contains a small collection of items that represent who we are today and the world we live in. Here are some of the pieces we decided to include:
A letter about us describing who we are, our dreams, hopes, and a bit about our daily life.
Photos of our human and canine family.
A printout of the news from the day we wrote the letter, to send a glimpse of the world in 2024 to the future.
Some personal items and some technology from today that could fit inside the capsule.
The Purpose
By creating this time capsule, we want the generation that discovers it to learn a bit about our lives and our values.
We imagine that discovering this capsule will be an exciting and curious moment for those who find it, providing a direct link to our time.
I would have loved to find one in the ruins when we demolished the houses.
Where Will It Be Placed?
We chose a discreet yet special spot inside the house. The capsule will be hidden in a wall of the house, carefully selected to ensure that the capsule remains safe and protected over the years.
A Touch of Mystery
To add a touch of mystery, we will not reveal the exact location to any family members or friends.
We want that, whether it is a distant descendant or a stranger living in our house, they know that this capsule was created with care and with the desire to share a bit of our time and who we were.
