Hello there. I'm Charz Mendoza. I am a Korean looking non-Korean, Korean speaking person.
Okay, that's settled. Let's begin.

These past few weeks I have given myself more time to study the interactions between humans and objects. In my observations, I learned that each of our senses operate on feeding the intellect with information found everywhere in almost every object. And as always, I am convinced that design had something to do with all of this.
For the purveyors of good design, an object will never be fully appreciated unless it intuitively implies its function and use. As with a telescope, designed to have an opening that affords the eye to look through it. Or with a piece of clay, designed to have that level of malleability that affords the hand to mold it into something else.
It’s the affordance of these things that puts more weight on functional characteristics rather than on pure whim. I guess that’s precisely why ballerina figurines don’t move me that much. It lacks the utility and efficiency a vending machine could possibly give to me.
