Related Objects
These three works originate from Design Forward, yet they are not conceived as appendages to the book.
They emerge from contexts beyond writing itself: a marker situated in physical space, a preserved trace of everyday creative activity, and a continuous record of lived time. Presented alongside Design Forward, they extend the book’s conceptual framework into tangible, lived experience.
