used & abused

By: Charisse Li

Rationale:

"Used and abused" is a phrase commonly used to describe objects that have been visibly and thoroughly used. It's another take on the word "abuse", where in the context of objects, it could mean misuse or excessive use. There are many aged cantonese restaurants that still utilise "used and abused" objects as depicted by the photograph. Are these objects well loved? Or abused?
