Description: This hat’s existence may be based on a mishearing or mistranslation of the phrase “bucket list”. A simple lined denim bucket hat is embellished with two lists, on the band and as a pinned embellishment. The band lists the names of women; the pinned list seems to be ordinary social activities. These lists may recall past or lost events and people. The quarantine culture of Warfield Island has turned many daily objects into sites of memory and mourning.
