We Have a Choice is a reflective essay for art collectors about consuming less and valuing care, attention, and time. Through everyday observations — a crooked plane tree, shared books, waiting behind a garbage truck — the text explores an alternative to fast transactions. It reflects on living with art and objects as a conscious practice, asking how we choose to relate to what already exists and how small, careful choices can open other ways of being.

Objects like books or furniture can unlock deep memories of joy or warmth. Choose one and relive a meaningful moment. Share your story!

This summer atmosphere of "back to school," of sweet children and trustworthy parents, securing safe-artistic-growth, is superb.

Wearing headphones all day, not listening. People think I'm unreachable. Reminds me of hiding in the attic. Needed a mute button back then!
