Found features stuff that's, well, found: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework, to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, doodles -- "anything that gives a glimpse into someone else's life. Anything goes."

The hopefulness? After she expresses her "hate" she adds, "Page me later." Sweet and mysterious.
