A black bag floating in the wind, a strand of a weave wedged between pavement cracks, a sock laid to rest next to a fire hydrant; these abandoned artifacts add character to our streets, creating a colorful narrative that is often overlooked.

Who did these items belong to and why were they left behind?

Exploring the correlations between these found items and their placement in public space, this collaborative project documents the Philadelphia Tumbleweeds.
