Anemoia

Anemoia

Definition: n. Nostalgia for a time you’ve never known

Ever been drawn towards an old photograph and caught yourself wondering where the people in it are now? Whether they are dead or alive? What they must have felt at the exact moment the photo was taken? Suddenly they become more than unknown people in a forgotten photograph. You start wishing to become part of the photograph, part of the lives that were led by its subjects. This feeling is known as Anemoia.
