Your Invitation to a More Permanent World

Traditional luxury has collapsed into simulation, mass-produced status symbols, and fleeting trends that lack genuine narrative. This has left a void.

Many of us are seeking more than acquisition. We crave depth, authenticity, and objects that assert permanence. We want creations that reflect our intellectual and aesthetic convictions.

As an Anthropologist of Luxury and Critical Theorist, I have spent years diagnosing this shift. This is why I created the Objects of Affection Collection.

It is not a brand. It is an artistic practice and a new value model, a category I call Post-Luxury Conceptual Functional Art.

Each pièce unique is a total artifact:

1. A Physical Masterpiece
Given form through materials of unique provenance and master craft.

2. A Conceptual Statement
An idea rooted in critical theory and art historical lineage.

3. A Digital History
An immutable record of narrative and origin.

These are not possessions. They are private monuments designed for those who believe a life is not merely lived, but architected—a continuous work of art expressed through discerning choices and profound objects.

This practice is not for everyone. It is for those who understand that the most profound luxury is not what can be acquired, but what must be created.

If this resonates, I invite you to begin the conversation.
