This book starts from my collection of small figurines, often bought in blind box series and placed around my room. What began as a personal habit of collecting gradually became the subject itself: how objects are owned, handled, and discovered.

The book is structured around a binding system where each section is initially closed and must be opened by the reader. The content is hidden at first and only revealed through physical engagement, echoing the logic of blind boxes, where meaning unfolds through opening rather than immediate visibility.

Each section follows a fixed rhythm: a title page, the front and back of the object, and an empty page. That emptiness functions as a pause between objects. Through repetition, the book builds a calm but constant tension between what is seen and what is still hidden, making the act of opening the central experience of the work.
