Things that Gather Dust
Exhibited at Beirut Design Week 2019: Design and Nostalgia 

A cardboard box fills up in the back of a closet.

When it overflows, another one stacks up next to it, neatly.

Just as it starts to wear out, a third box – plastic, this time – piles on top.

A floppy disk is stashed away on a shelf, forgotten.

A folder, marked in red, sits idle on a desktop screen.

And then another, marked in blue.

A labeled CD goes into a drawer, a hard drive into another.

A phoneʼs memory fills up.

Data waits in the cloud.

​

What do we do with the bits of life we compile so selectively?

How do we tell the real stories, if ever we had to?
