Why is there that innate eagerness of collecting?

Why do we do this? sometimes there is really not a financial value for these objects still, we feel accomplished when we find something that just fits.

But why do we have this light obsession, why do some of us do it, some of us don´t?

I have been very interested in the topic, specially because I try to understand why do I get that light sense of “joy” when I find certain materials, I am attracted to things that have a worn aspect, a sense of time that has gone past them and has left some marks, everything, even the smallest thing has a story.

It is all a way to understand my own nature through making, I like giving these materials a chance, a place, why not?

Collecting is a constant in my life and with this series I am just experimenting with arranging, re-arranging, and classifying parts of a big-world-out-there, making a small wearable collection.
