I’ve always had a strange aversion to holes—holes that are grouped together give me goosebumps. Which is why it took a commendable amount of effort on my part to put together this collection of peculiar perforations.
It looks like society has a thing for perforated, punched-out creations. If this is the direction that building facades, furniture, fashion and interior decor are going, I’m not sure what I’ll do. In the mean time, this cluster of peculiar perforations is for you—not me.
