I'm impatient and a pragmatist, characteristics perfect for bacteria but not humans. What better way to reform yourself than to create art, objects completely useless as sustenance or for producing progeny. The daily ritual of incremental, grinding persistence, overcoming the infantalization of being totally shit at something. There's got to be more to living beyond a 9-5 and chronic breathing addiction.
I collected these subway ticket sleeves ever since I can remember, they would accumulate in my pockets during the summer visits to Japan. Originally meant for repeater tickets they are slowly disappearing from stations with the adoption of Suica cards. They vary in design depending on the line/station and it was a good life bookmark for travelling around.
