The more I worked, the more I began to notice that some objects reveal everything immediately, while others ask for time.
The difference is not how they look, but how they are built. An object created to attract immediate attention is quickly consumed. It appears, circulates, and is forgotten. An object built to endure works differently. It doesn’t reveal everything at once. It holds your attention. It asks for time. It brings you back to it.
Over time, I realized that I’m not interested in objects that exhaust their entire impact at first sight. I’m interested in objects that continue to reveal themselves. To me, that’s the difference between an object you simply look at and one you return to.
The question was never how many objects could be made. The more important question was always what kind of object deserves to exist. Objects created for mass circulation usually follow trends and are eventually replaced by whatever comes next. Objects built to endure do not depend on the rhythm of trends. People return to them for what they continue to discover over time.
