For a long time, I was frustrated with the silverfish eating my books, photographs and personal documents, but at some point, my perspective shifted. I saw them no longer as a nuisance, but as remarkable creatures worthy of my respect. Silverfish have existed for more than 300 million years and in a time perspective we humans are nothing compared to them. The silverfish are indifferent to my impulse to collect and preserve; they simply consume and create beautiful works at the same time.
