Forget ancient ruins. Forget dusty museums. We have receipts, broken chargers, plastic bags, VHS tapes, sneakers, screenshots, and the mysterious Tupperware lid with no matching container.

Modern Relics explores the everyday artifacts of contemporary life—subjects we use, love, hoard, worship, discard, or somehow refuse to throw away, things that will be discarded, outdated or irrelevant in the future.
