Serial Imperfections
Faint lines spiderweb across the glazed surfaces of the tiles, revealed only under intense light—and mirroring subtle shifts in their market price. The collection isn't a display of static form, but an ongoing study in value as it is repeatedly assigned and reassigned by outside observers. Each serial number now appears less as identification and more as a tally of focused attention, its cost growing with each transaction’s ripple effect. A quiet hum emanated from the server room holding the ticker, suggesting that even these inert objects bear witness to their own history, quietly accruing a weight beyond material composition.
