experiment 002 + a field guide to the junk drawer
Somewhere, a rubber band is holding position with no memory of what it was hired to hold.
A key is standing guard over a lock it has never met.
Objects of such quiet importance deserve a proper sanctuary. Every household has one. Most people call it the junk drawer. We call it what it really is, an ecosystem of treasures.
This guide is the result of one naturalist's dedication to that ecosystem, supported by an ai that has no opinion on the matter.
