virtu is a celebration. it is the unveiling of the art of transmutation; what is it really that we value? certainly not the object itself as form - is all that glitters, ever truly gold?
virtu is the energy of the once abandoned, now arisen from the discards of our mind: like the proverbial phoenix, a rebirth.
virtu
1: the quality of being rare, beautiful, or otherwise appealing to a connoisseur 2: productions of art especially of a curios or antique nature: objets d’art
