In our heavily consumerist world, we’re so used to seeing “final products” being sold to us that we’ve collectively lost the ability to see how things start.

It’s a veggie scrap on a countertop in January that won’t be into the ground for many months.
It’s a posty note with and idea that won’t become its final piece of art for many years.
It’s a solution you can’t quite articulate until you connect with a few more people that have complementary skills to your own.
