Objects for Humans
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."
- Henry David Thoreau
Changing your environment gives you the superpower to see magic in the mundane. Humans are optimized for energy efficiency, which makes us gravitate towards the path of least resistance and become on autopilot. On my recent journey to Mexico, I was forced to come off autopilot because a lot of daily things are done a little differently. It made me interested in everyday objects like a chair, light, and bookshelf. I was so accustomed to seeing the same solution over and over that when it was solved in another way, I became hyper-aware of my surroundings. We often become so accustomed to our current solutions that we forget there are numerous ways to solve the same problems. Curiosity is one of the human traits I value the most. It's the fuel for discovery and makes each day more interesting. I believe a lot of creativity lies in having a question, or being curious without yet having the answer. More info
