70's shadow boxes

Post by the_antithesis »

So when I was a kid, my parents had this kind of crap on the wall.

I was a kid and didn't understand why they'd want a box with old dried beans and pasta and weeds as a decoration (note, these are not their shadow boxes but examples I've found online) I remember even asking at the time but I never did get a satisfactory answer.

Does anyone remember this... fad? I assume it was a fad because I recall others had similar decorations. There is precious little information about it online and I am wondering why. Why? Why!? WHY?!!!?! Forty years later and I still don't get it.
