Description

This shortcast by Nicholas V. K. explains how a simple, sun-faded t-shirt, borrowed in Sorrento and infused with the scent of lemons from hanging under a tree, becomes a powerful "time capsule."

It explores how memory isn't just linked to photographs or locations, but is also closely connected to sensory experiences like the softness of cotton and a particular scent.

The shirt captures the feeling of a peaceful day, acting as a "time machine" that takes the narrator back to a moment of feeling "fully alive."

Ultimately, it shows how everyday clothes can "carry us" and become part of our story, even if they were never truly ours to keep.
