While this is a collection of random little things, i can't help but think it is a sample representation of a life's worth [my life's worth] of collecting. There are different pieces being represented… paper, plastic, things that are useful, things that are purely decoration… which also leads to the idea that the reason i collect the things that i collect is because i feel like an object is worth how much you appreciate it. and some thing i feel i have to keep because nobody else in the world can appreciate it quite like i can, and will.
The little tin box is like my life. quiet, mundane, easily looked over, not fancy, but not entirely boring… but interesting to those who need it, or know whats inside it.
it makes perfect sense that we buy, collect, and use things that are descriptive of out personality. some would argue these things make up our personality.

your idea of appreciation giving value is a poetic on. it moves us away from the object's objectness and to ourselves.
