Inspired by the feelings linked to treasured possessions, jewelry designer and portrait photographer Monica Rich Kosann set out to chronicle the stories of such cherished belongings. Her time with more than sixty-five intriguing personalities, celebrities, and thought leaders resulted in A Possession Obsession: What We Cherish and Why, a photographic collection that transcends materialism and explores the secrets and stories behind beloved personal items.
As a creative spirit, Kosann attributes her interests in both design and photography to an underlying fascination with storytelling. This curiosity is apparent through both the questions Kosann poses and the intimacy of the images. A sweeping range of luminaries and icons, such as Chelsea Clinton, Usher, Judge Judy, and Isaac Mizrahi, pose with prized objects and shed light on the stories behind their public personas. The items range from rings passed down generations of women, to a life size effigy of Prince. Ultimately, the diversity of these images and telling interviews produce a different approach to the concept of human identity.
