In the modern world, all divinity and festivals no longer exist. The world has become a department store. The so-called sharing economy turns each of us into salespeople, waiting for customers to arrive.


We fill the world with increasingly inferior fast-moving consumer goods, and the world suffocates among commodities. This department store is no different in essence from a madhouse. It seems we have everything, yet we have lost the most fundamental thing—the world. The world has lost language and voice. Amid the noise of communication, silence has disappeared. The accumulation and popularization of goods fill every void.
Goods occupy the sky and the ground. A commodified world is no longer suitable for living; it has lost its connection with God, the sacred, mystery, infinity, and the sublime. We have also lost the ability to wonder, living in a transparent department store, becoming transparent customers, constantly watched and manipulated.
Escaping this department store has become an urgent task. We should transform the store into a celebration venue, where life can attain its rightful meaning.
