The (Never)-Ending Archive explores how we can assign emotional value to everyday disposable objects – items we would typically discard without a second thought. Through acts of collecting, archiving, and recontextualizing, these post-consumer objects are transformed into meaningful relics—talismanic artefacts that challenge our relationship with material culture. By bringing ritualistic care back into daily life, the project encourages a more mindful approach to consumption.
Through playful yet critical interventions, these objects are reframed, opening up a dialogue on heritage, identity, ritual significance in a world shaped by overconsumption and globalization.
Rather than a static collection, The (Never)-Ending Archive is envisioned as a living archive, a space where objects, stories, and rituals continuously evolve. It invites us to reconsider everyday artifacts, not as fleeting remnants, but as cultural markers that shape a new collective memory.
