My brother and I send each other phone photos whenever we see something that looks like Mickey Mouse.
When we were children we once watched a cartoon where there was a character who was not Mickey Mouse but it bore some resemblance to him. A cheap and strange knock off. Jumping up and down on the spot. That uncanny Mickey stayed with us throughout our childhood. We spoke of him often.
From then on we always pointed out any time we spotted some resemblance of Mickey Mouse in the world. As adults we began sending photos to each other each time we saw him. To notice those three safe circles next to one another. To find some order in this scary world.
As our mother became iller the frequency of the images increased. A way of staying in communication when words were too difficult. This is the initial spark/jumping off point for my project but the images would not necessarily be included.
