A small museum about what things are worth
QUEST
값 — you know, what something costs, but also what it means when the number stops being enough.
PRICE
When you see a price tag, you're reading a tiny story. Someone decided this object, service, or odd little moment should equal exactly this number.
The tag is the surface. It is what you see at the register, on the menu, on the invoice. It answers the easiest question: how much?
But price gets nervous when you ask the better question: what is it worth?
COST
Cost lives in the shadows of price. It is the heat burned to make the thing, the hours borrowed from somebody's evening, the river that got a little less river-like.
Some costs are hidden on purpose. Some are hidden because we forgot to look. Some are paid by people who never get to enjoy what they paid for.
So the corridor asks gently: if the tag is clean but the trail is messy, what number should we believe?
VALUE
Value is a prism. Spin it and a different color answers back.
