This work turns our attention sideways, toward care. It attends to the slow, often overlooked gestures of maintenance, repair, and sustained attention that keep things, and ourselves, going.

 

Through a constellation of small, handmade magnetic pebbles, the work invites reflection on how we design, interact, and live with technology and with one another. These objects are offerings: meant to be held, moved, and reconfigured. They ask what it might mean to design not for control or novelty, but for connection, endurance, and ongoing relation.

​

Each pebble carries the imprint of touch and time, a quiet reminder that care is material, relational, and always unfinished. This is not an interface of command, but a field of relations,where interaction itself becomes a form of care.
