Editorial
project overview
We all have objects we cling to — things that outlive their function and start to mean more than they should. This editorial explores our emotional and symbolic relationships with everyday objects.
The book
The first half of Objeto (Spanish for “object”) is a speculative creation myth: a visual essay about how objects came to exist, gain a soul, multiply, and scatter across the world. Told in a semi-biblical tone, this part reframes the person as the “Creator” and casts objects as both offspring and reflections of us.

Diptychs
The second half breaks that myth down into something closer to home: 12 diptychs that examine our modern-day relationships with objects. Some are tender, others obsessive, others unsettling. Each one is told through three lenses: factual, personal, and critical — with Baudrillard’s System of Objects as a loose theoretical backbone. Together, the two parts form a study in attachment, identity, and the strange power everyday things hold over us.
