Repair is usually meant to disappear. Here it insists on being seen.

What was designed to be replaceable is treated as if it were worth keeping.

The break is not undone, but articulated, held in place, traced, made legible.

Between disposability and care, two economies touch: one that assumes abundance, one that responds to loss.

The object does not reconcile them. It keeps the tension visible, asking whether value arises from origin, use, or the moment something is refused to be thrown away.
