I say to everyone passing by: Welcome to my little pond. Please squat by the pond to choose my temporary tattoos and use the iPad to capture every moment by the pond. In this way, it feels like I've truly transported the old pond here, and it's no longer just me sitting by the pond lost in thought. The memories of the pond are no longer confined to the past; they now encompass the present and the future.

Actually, every time I go to a museum, I really enjoy visiting the shop. Initially, it was just because I liked buying some souvenirs, but later, after participating in markets, I found myself consciously observing the products. I began to contemplate how to integrate illustrated works with products and what kind of products could attract customers.

In the poster workshop, I tried creating a large poster by collaging individual pieces together, but the effect was mediocre. While searching for materials, I came across a photo taken by a friend of me by a pond. I thought, why not simply print that single photo? It would be more straightforward and visually appealing.

In the previous book, I didn't include any text. However, in this new book, I attempted to add a preface as well as some sentences.

Exactly, and we try to use it as a way to create a digital version of the experience you get when you walk into Waste! Store. That being said, we have special artist editions we're working on with Peter Sutherland, Cali DeWitt and Josh Gordon that we're going to sell online. Growing up, a lot of my favourite artists were overseas, so I couldn't get any of their work delivered without paying a billion pounds. So we do want special stuff to be accessible to people, but a website's our worst nightmare.

Have you met any particularly memorable people since opening up the shop?

J: A guy came in with his wife. We were selling a Public Image Limited concert photo, which was taken the night they met.

R: One group of friends came down and they were in a magazine we had laying around. I gave it to them for free - it's way cooler for them to have it.

J: Then there was this kid from the States who came in, he was super nerdy. He wanted to buy a gift for a girl he was in love with, to woo her. He only had about £15 but I ended up giving him a bunch of shit. He said she was really into heavy metal and we have some zines and artworks on that, so it was perfect. I also gave him a Furby candle and T‑shirt we made.

R: There's another kid who comes in with his dad. He's been here about six times and I give him a Smurf figurine every time. I hold them up and he points at the one he wants. He loves the finger monsters and I made a Waste! badge for him to put on his beanie. He was so stoked!

J: We have stuff here for people aged from four to 100. We love boxed stuff like those finger monsters or mood rings, the kind of things you'd see on the counter as a kid, when you're as high as the counter and you want all the weird bits on there.

Waste! definitely replicates that wide-eyed kid in a candy shop feeling.

J: That's what retail should be about! We don't really see ourselves as changing the industry, but if we can help people feel like it can be more accessible... Having said that, it's easy when everything's so boring. People make a shop by looking at other shops and copying that. Although we don't necessarily plan, we always ask ourselves how we can make things fun and put a lot of thought into getting our personalities across, to make things Waste! Style.

R: And we just like designing things. When we aren't here there's a sign out front that says: ​"Please deliver next door." I spent way more time than I should have designing that little moment that no one else would care about!
You don't do anything just for the sake of it...
J: In 2022, people have seen enough clothes against white backgrounds. They need something more. There's so much connection to be made behind products and I think you take something different from an item you've bought physically at a place like Waste!, compared to if it was mass-produced. We're lucky in the sense that it's a timeless way of working. When your stuff is based on independent thought, it tends to turn out well. If we stock something, that means we believe in it.

Interviewing family members, I discovered that everyone has different feelings toward the small pond. Some view it merely as a tool without any emotional attachment, while others see it as a source of companionship. There are also those who are indifferent to its presence. I believe that these varying perceptions are closely tied to the context of the times. The role the pond plays in different individuals' lives is diverse and influenced by the era.

In the group, I collected drawings of ponds from everyone. Some depicted the general shape, while others provided intricate details. However, what stood out was that every person included the small steps inside the pond in their drawings.

The first half of the book is an exploration of the pond ecosystem. The latter part shifts to my perspective—how I arrived at the pond, memories from my time by the pond, and the changes that followed. The concluding section includes a record of conversations between my father and me, capturing our sentiments and yearning for the pond.

Actually, I've always wanted to open a store similar to a waste store. I hope to have a space like that to promote artists and my own products.
