Essay about preservetion

A pedestrian object like the jar transcends its functional role and becomes a tool for introspection if one takes the time to look and examine What it holds; we are forced to consider our own desires: the desire to preserve something in its present state for later use, for later viewing, for later study or examination, for pleasure, for the sake of fascination and for the satisfaction of controlling the omni-powerful process of decay. Along with preservation for the sake of memory, one must admit the impetus to implement captivity. Its contents are totems of our own desires, likes and fascinations as well as material testaments of our actions and abilities.
