What can one box contain?

In one of the pitch-black storage rooms, amidst several boxes, there sits a large brown box sealed with wide tape, filled with goods. A rectangular white box with a matching lid is labeled "Content, From... to," brimming with special archive files. A colored box that once held a pair of shoes now contains family photos from a vacation abroad, a brother's birth, and a birthday celebration for a son. A sand-colored box, sealed with brown tape, labeled "High-speed internet" by Bezeq, and marked with ink, "Documents of Hajj Abu Wahib." Inside the box, there are other smaller rusted metal boxes, filled with papers. What can a single piece of paper hold? Photography: Rawan Joulani
