Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.
The essence of objects is tied intimately to their narratives; without context, they become mere manifestations of form. They transform into shapes defined solely by size, color, and weight, devoid of significance when disconnected from their stories. Without these connections, even names fade away, highlighting the loss of meaning that can occur over time.
Conversely, stories maintain their vitality and relevance as they anchor themselves in the world. They are not merely representational; instead, they embody a sense of place and existence that resonates through time, preserving the significance that objects alone cannot convey. Every story carries its weight in the broader tapestry of life.
