Endless Exploration

Throughout the project, the challenge was navigating the unknown, constantly asking "What did I learn from it?" and "What new things can be uncovered?" The documentation process revealed that sometimes it's not about overthinking but letting the act of making drive the thinking. Embrace boldness — moving beyond the comfort zone of seeing the comb as a simple object and exploring more unconventional materials and combinations.
