What do you hope to do before you die? Not just “hope” – what do you WANT to do? It’s not about a far away fantasy, what’s something you selfishly crave to have on your life resume?

Installation artist, Candy Chang,  has created an art projected based on filling in the blanks of that sentence.  One side of an abandoned house in NOLA has become a chalk board where people can express their thoughts on the topic. “It’s also about transforming a neglected space into a constructive one where we can learn the hopes and aspirations of the people around us.”

What would you write? I’ll share some of mine.

Before I die, I want to:

• Recapture my pure childhood feelings of joy.
• Meet more people who love 80′s retro toys.
• Live near a duck pond.
• Visit more art museums.
• Read more Rumi.
• Try Eggs Benedict.
• Feel more at ease in my own skin.
• Be proud of myself for more than a flickering moment.
• Survive outside of depression and anxiety.
• Hold a piglet.
