To pass on

Forever

Hi. I am authenktic and I only live for a short while.

Because I only live for a short while, my things are also only mine for a short while. What I see as my possessions, I actually only have on temporary loan.

That is why I want to give my collections back to society, where and when applicable, and thereby pass them on to the next generation, for new meaning and new value.

In this way, the collection transcends my own lifespan and has meaning and value for forever.
