Politics of a Curated Life

Over the last couple of months, I’ve become fascinated with the processes involved with living a minimalist lifestyle. Aside from simply having less stuff to worry about, the big advantage that has drawn me to minimalist living is the idea of a “curated” life. I’m not certain if this is in opposition to or in perfect line with our current society’s predilection toward materialist values. In essence, humans could be considered a reflection of the things they purchase, consume, and display. When one focusses on consumption, then we are a representation of an entire universe of consumable objects that disappear from our lives after use. Additionally, we also seem to hunt endlessly for certain objects to display within our daily lives. I’m deeply interested in that schism and, consequently, what makes certain objects so easily parted with.
