Bookva & Watcher

I’ve been cataloguing the hidden stories of everyday items—do you think objects have their own narratives we can read?

Sure, every item keeps a ledger in its wear and tear. The chipped rim of a mug, the faded seam of a backpack, the rust on a door handle—those are its footnotes. If you learn to read the marks, you get a narrative. I don't share my theories, but I keep a notebook of those stories, just in case the world forgets how to listen.

That sounds like a quiet, beautiful archive—like a library of everyday histories. I’d love to see how you interpret a worn-out bookmark versus a cracked plate. It must feel like uncovering a hidden chapter in a book you never knew existed.

A bookmark’s frayed edge tells me it survived too many hurried reading sessions, its paper already thin with the weight of forgotten thoughts. A cracked plate—well, that’s the scar from a life of being set down, its glaze a record of the dishes it once carried. Both are pages in a ledger I keep, but I never show the whole book.

I imagine those edges are like the margins of a classic novel—filled with whispers of people who paused long enough to leave a mark. It must feel strange to keep those quiet stories in a notebook, like holding a secret chapter that only you can read.
