Part of The Things We Keep, a photographic exhibition presented at The Front Room Gallery for Melbourne Design Week 2026.
Each artwork began with a personal object belonging to a creative, collector, designer, artist, or maker from across Australia. These objects were then handed to photographers, not simply to be documented, but interpreted - transforming private possessions into shared artworks shaped by memory, atmosphere, and emotional response.
Presented as a limited edition of 20, each A3 artwork is printed in Melbourne on fine art cotton rag paper as part of an exclusive companion release available through The Hub General Store. Artwork printing leadtime up to 1 week.
Photographer: Jana Langhorst

46/62. Not long after Vietnam, I travelled through Sri Lanka and found this bowl in a huge warehouse filled with discarded objects. I was immediately drawn to its shape, the dent in its side, and the rust beginning to settle across the surface. At the time I didn’t think much about where it came from or who had owned it before me. I think about that now. What was its previous life? Whose hands carried it? I sometimes wonder if the person who once owned this bowl wonders where it ended up too.
