(words by his granddaughter)
I have a strange box that when you open it, it has a beetle inside which jiggles. My grandpa, Koya gave this to me. It feels like it describes him and if he was reincarnated as an object he would might be this box. Strange. Interesting. Question provoking. Curious. And straight up WIERD. He gave it to me in a restaurant in Lille in a huge bag full of other random stuff from a second hand shop. My parents were both shocked when he gave me the bag and so was I. Half the things I didn’t know what they were and the other half I didn’t care what they were crap or not because he knew I liked Star Wars. But that box was what caught my eye the most not then, but now. It makes me laugh as it’s silver legs wobble as you shake the small to scale box with a beetle in it. Strange. Interesting. Question provoking. Curious. And straight up WIERD.
