Discovery Log
As Marcel Proust once wrote in his book, “The real voyage of discovery consists, not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
I believe that there’s art everywhere in life, but our eyes are blinded by the overwhelming responsibilities of society and numbed by the daily repetitions of endless tasks.
I myself must be a victim of the modern urban life.
In order to open up my “new eyes”, I will record and reflect on every new aspect of my life weekly, focusing and starting from the little things that I often get used to or ignore.
