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?
