About
A photo and short-essay series following the restoration of old, forgotten objects, radios, clocks, coins,documenting each piece's history, the repair process, and the small wonder of bringing something broken back to working life.
Impact
It celebrates patience and care in a throwaway culture, showing that broken and old things still hold value and beauty, encouraging people to look twice before discarding what seems obsolete.
Progress
I have an active personal collection of old radios, clocks, and coins already in progress, with some pieces restored and others mid-repair. I've begun photographing the process and drafting the first object's story.
Team
I've been personally collecting and restoring old objects for years out of genuine curiosity, not for profit. My technical background gives me the patience and hands-on skill to actually understand and repair what I find.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
