I have moved across countries and cultures more than fifteen times. The few objects I chose to keep became a thread through it all – small constants that shaped each new beginning. Over time, I came to see these choices as a practice, and I call it Curatology.

Curatology begins with noticing. A bowl that survived every move. A letter worn thin. A scarf that carries the trace of another place. These are not just things. They are quiet archives of memory, resilience, and belonging. Together they form a body of work that helps me make sense of my own journey and invites others to reflect on theirs.

In truth, we are all already curators. Each of us is building a personal museum made of the objects that travel with us, shift with us, and quietly tell our stories.

This practice is not only personal but also collective. Objects at work – a notebook, a desk, a tool that carries the imprint of use – also hold meaning. They connect us to colleagues, teams, and transitions, turning workplaces into living museums of culture and collaboration.

My intention is to share this work with others through a simple methodology: Choose, Uncover, Reflect, Interpret, Offer (C.U.R.I.O.). With it, anyone can turn everyday objects into stories, and stories into connection.

Curatology is not preservation but participation – a way of seeing that makes the ordinary extraordinary, and a reminder that the museums we carry are worth noticing.
