Mysterium

How do we map mystery? Is there a methodology to enable us to act as cartographers of fate? Crafting beautiful and symbolic depictions of our encounters with the ghosts and spirits? Along with the questions, failures, emotions, dreams and hopes we visit time and time again during our lives.

Is there a way to represent this, that is entirely more aesthetically appropriate in regards to the wonder that haunts us all?

If you’ve lost a parent or had the task of clearing a house after someone passes, you might have encountered a magic box like this, swollen with meaning and compressed with love and loss

I don't feel a small box of keepsakes, containing letters, photos, documents, and a few personal fragments adequately denotes a lifetime. Nor does it represent what it it is to be human. Neither is a headstone and despite the belief that we each live on in the memories of our loved ones, I don't feel it's reasonable to expect others to be solely responsible for holding the tale of how we encountered the mystery of our lives. This is my question:

Is it possible to create an accurate container for the story of who we are?
