Can the things people own silently send signals about who they are?
Objects speak quietly, but people listen carefully.
The watch.\n\nThe bicycle.\n\nThe bookshelf behind a desk.\n\nThe hidden mechanism is identity signals.\n\nHumans communicate symbolically.\n\nObjects become messages.\n\nChoices become stories.\n\nPeople think possessions reveal wealth.\n\nVery often, they reveal priorities.
