LIQUIDATION Three years ago, when I first entered the world of NFTs, I found myself asking a question I couldn't answer. Why do we collect digital objects? A file can be copied endlessly. An image can be saved in seconds. Nothing physically changes hands. For a long time, I thought I was trying to understand digital art. Eventually I realized I was asking the wrong question. The real question wasn't why people collect digital objects. It was... Why do we collect anything at all? Some objects survive. Others disappear. A museum carefully preserves a chair because it once belonged to someone important. Another identical chair ends up in a landfill. One keyboard becomes a historical artifact. Thousands of others become electronic waste. The object is almost never what changes. The story does. "Liquidation" began as an attempt to explore that idea. The collection recreates the inventory of a fictional office that is quietly dismantling itself. Every object receives an asset number. A condition report. A market value. A place inside a corporate archive. Office chairs. Desk lamps. Binders. Printers. Coffee mugs. Objects that were never meant to be admired. Only used. Some remain completely ordinary. Others begin to malfunction in impossible ways. A chair twists into itself. A microwave inflates like a balloon. Window blinds swallow an employee. A power adapter slowly fills with air. The office starts behaving like a dream that still insists on calling itself documentation. The visual language comes from the early internet. A time when websites weren't beautiful. They simply worked. Function mattered more than appearance. That forgotten design language became the perfect home for a company that no longer exists. At first glance, this collection looks like an archive. But archives preserve things we are afraid to lose. Liquidation exists because someone decided these things no longer mattered. And yet... Here they are again. Catalogued. Priced. Collected. Perhaps that's what art has always done. It takes the ordinary. Removes its function. Gives it a story. And suddenly we begin looking at it differently. Maybe value has never belonged to the object itself. Maybe value belongs to the attention we choose to give it. Liquidation isn't really about office furniture. Or nostalgia. Or the early internet. It's about the strange moment when something stops being useful... ...and starts becoming worth remembering. Liquidation Launching June 23.
